In the face of the powerful Qi State, at the time of the alliance, the Lu State actually did not have much strength to fight for anything.

However, Confucius, as the reincarnation of Hanzhen, had experienced too many things and was experienced, and he suddenly thought of one thing.

That is, in a previous war, the Lu State was forced to cede the land of Yundi, Xudi, and Guiyang to the Qi State, and it has not been returned yet.

Confucius saluted Qi Jinggong and said: "If the Qi army leaves the country, the Lu State must send 300 chariots to follow the Qi State, and we should obey it." But if you don't return our land in Wenyang, but let us help you fight, what is this? Please return our land, we will definitely help you fight, and we have an oath to prove it!"

Yundi, Zhendi, and Guiyang were originally the lands of the Lu State, and since they were allies, there was no reason to occupy them.

Qi Jinggong had no reason to refuse, so he had to return all the lands of Yundi, Zhendi, and Guiyang to Lu State.

This alliance can be said to have taken a huge advantage in the Lu state, which is not only the success of the Lu state, but also the success of Confucius.

Confucius's reputation was beaten out all of a sudden, and the fame shook the land of Qilu, especially the people of the Lu country, who were amazed at Confucius's effortless recovery of a large area of his homeland.

Coupled with the hype of Confucius's disciples, Confucius's reputation was unmatched for a while, and no one mentioned the matter of punishing Shao Zhengmao.

Lu Dinggong was naturally extremely happy to see that he had easily recovered the land of the three counties, which was a great achievement.

For the great heroes of this matter, Confucius and Lu Dinggong were also greatly rewarded, and Confucius was promoted from the person in charge of criminal and prison proceedings to Situ, responsible for civil affairs and household registration, and became one of the three most important positions in the vassal states.

Han Zhen used to be the fourth assistant of the Southern Ganbu Continent, what he did was to govern civil affairs and other affairs, and he was naturally familiar with it, and he had outstanding political achievements, and "the Quartet is the rule".

But at this time, Lu is a time of external and internal troubles.

The real power of the Lu State is not in the hands of Lu Dinggong, but in the hands of the Qing Doctor Mengsun, Shusun and Jisun Sanhuan, and Lu Dinggong has become a puppet.

Speaking of Sanhuan, we have to start with Lu Huan.

Lu Huan had four sons, the eldest son Lu Zhuang succeeded the monarch of Lu State, and the eldest son Qing Father (谥共, also known as Gongzhong, and his descendants were called Zhongsun. The eldest son of the concubine is also called "Meng", so it is also called Meng's, Mengsun's), the second son of Shuya (谥僖, his descendants are called Shusun's), and the second son of Ji You (谥成, whose descendants are called Ji's) are all named officials by Luzhuang according to the feudal system, and the descendants have formed a big family.

Because the three families are all from the queen of Lu Huan, they are called "three Huan".

According to Confucius's observation, although the three huans nominally controlled the power of the state of Lu, their rights were also hollowed out and controlled by their subordinate retainers, such as the Yang Hu of the Ji family, as well as Gongshan Bufu, Shusun and others.

Lu not only has internal worries, but also because of internal worries, the national strength has faded, and external troubles have followed.

The north of Lu is a big country Qi, and the national strength is several times that of Lu, and the surrounding of Lu includes Ju, Tan, Xu, Song, and Wei, so it can be said that he is surrounded by a country, and it is a country surrounded by major countries, and the environment is very bad.

In addition, there is also a time bomb in the country of Lu, that is, Lu Dinggong only has one son named Ji Jiang, and his body is extremely weak, and the problem of heirs is a big problem.

After Confucius became his boss, the state of Lu gradually became stronger, which naturally attracted the attention of the three huans of the state of Lu and external forces, and many people regarded Confucius as a thorn in their side.

At this time, on the one hand, Confucius was improving the strength of the Lu State, and on the other hand, he focused on the issue of the three Huan of the Lu State, and then put forward the action of the three capitals.

The three Huan had their respective cities as the ruling center. The Jisun clan built the city in Fei, the Mengsun clan built the city in Yu, and the Shusun clan built the city in Yu. With the strength of Sanhuan, Sanhuan's retainers gradually took power, often rebelling against the city.

Of course, Confucius did this to take care of the Lu Ding Mansion and improve Lu Jun's status, but this was bound to offend Sanhuan.

Confucius found a good reason, and Confucius's explanation for this matter was: "Sanhuan originally had a heavy army and was in a high position, but Sanhuan's food was controlled by the Yi Zai, which threatened the power of the master." ”

Hearing this explanation, the Qing doctors, Mengsun, Shusun, and Jisun all nodded yes, and although they understood Confucius's ulterior motives, they finally agreed with Confucius's proposition.

This is because the Qing doctors, Mengsun, Shusun, and Jisun were not less bullied by their own disciples, and their retainers were indeed as Confucius said, and they had a tendency to be defeated.

Nankuai once rebelled according to Feiyi, and attacked it year after year, but did not defeat; Hou convicted of rebellion according to Yuyi, and besieged it for a whole year, and Yanghu, Gongshan, and so on, all of which are like this.

These retainers occupy the city, and it is difficult to conquer because these cities are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the retainers have betrayed them several times, but it is difficult to clean them up for various reasons as Sanhuan, which makes Sanhuan extremely headache.

Confucius's ideas could make the Qing Dynasty and the Mengsun clan, Shusun clan, and Jisun clan, who justifiably weakened the power of their retainers, and made their rule more favorable.

According to the thoughts of the Qing doctors, Mengsun, Shusun and Jisun: "Lu Dinggong is just one person, and he doesn't have any power in his hands, even if he increases his power because of this, and can be compared with us, after we really subdue these retainers, our strength will definitely go to a higher level." ”

The contemporary ruling Shusun Zhou Qiu of the Shusun clan expressed his willingness to obey Confucius's policy, and he openly said: "He is willing to take the lead in destroying Yunyi and set an example for the other two families." ”

Uncle Sun said it beautifully, but in fact, Yi Yi was no longer in his grasp at this time, of course he was willing to be a favor.

It turned out that Yuyi was the territory of the Shusun clan, but Yuyi Zaigong Ruo was very strong.

The previous generation of Shusun clan head Shusun Chengzi wanted to set up Shusun Zhou Qiu as the heir, but Yunyi Zaigong Ruo resolutely opposed it.

In the end, the uncle and grandson Chengzi still set up an uncle-grandson state feud, so the uncle and grandson state feud were very unhappy with Gong Ruo.

After the position was secured, Ma Zhenghou of the Shusun Prefecture Enemy Sect committed the assassination of Gong Ruo, but failed, which made the atmosphere within the Shusun clan suddenly tense.

Uncle Sun Zhou Qiu scolded Hou for this, and Hou Hou held a grudge.

One of Hou's horsemen offered advice to Hou, saying: "I pass through the court with a sword, and Gong Ruo will definitely ask who this sword is, and I tell him that it is yours, and Gong Ruo may want to take a closer look at this sword, and then I pretend not to understand etiquette and hand him the tip of the sword, and I can kill him!"

Hou thought it was wonderful, so he did according to the plan. Gong Ruo really wanted to see the sword, and at the same time, he knew very well in his heart that the horse keeper might want to assassinate him, but Gong Ruo was a famous strong man in the Lu country, and he boasted that his strength was infinite, and the horse keeper couldn't help him.

When looking at the sword, Gong Ruo actually jokingly said: "Do you treat me as a Wu prince?" Unexpectedly, Guan Ma was more powerful, and with a little force, the tip of the sword was inserted into Gong Ruo's neck, and Gong Ruo was blind to death.

Seeing that the matter was successful, Hou did not revenge his uncle and grandson, but led the people of Yundi to rebel. Shusun Zhouqiu didn't expect that Gongruo didn't rebel, but Hou Cheng rebelled first, and in anger, he led his troops to surround Yudi, but he couldn't attack it for a long time.

Shusun Zhouqiu even invited Gongnan and Qi troops to surround the land again, but still did not capture it. The land is still in the hands of the prisoners.

Uncle Sun Zhou Qiu said to Confucius: "Confucius, if you can recapture the land within a year, not to mention the destruction of the city, I will give you all the money." ”

Confucius said, "Is this true?"

"A word is a certainty!" Shusun Zhou said hatefully: "Our army has been besieged for many years, but we have not succeeded, and you can succeed in just one year, it's really a dream." ”
