Ran Qiu was very anxious. He didn't know why things turned out like this. Brother Zilu wanted to follow Dr. Zhao back to the Central Capital to make a relief, but Dr. Zhao insisted on him going north to Yangguan to continue to perform his duties. The two of them were about to clash. !

They were only one step apart, Zi Lu was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end, and Ran Qiu could clearly hear his panting. And Zhao Wuxi also glared angrily, and behind him Mu Xia, Tian Ben and other personal guards followed suit, shouting, "Bold!"

If Zilu behaved rudely towards Zhao Wuxi again, these warriors who had drank and fought together would be at each other's throats in a matter of seconds, and bloodshed at the gates of the city!

Ran Qiu was so shocked that his heart jumped out of his throat, but he saw Zhao Wuxi stretched out his hand to stop the guards from coming forward, and said loudly:

"Wu Xie dare to ask, is Zi Lu a scholar?"

Zilu glared at him and shouted, "Of course! That's why I went to rescue the Master from danger, even if I die, I don't regret it!" He was very proud of his choice.

"But I heard that Confucius commented that scholars are also divided into three classes! There is, is there such a thing?"

Hearing Zhao Wuxi quoting Confucius' words, Zilu's momentum was stagnant, and Ran Qiu also agreed.

"Confucius once said that words must be believed and actions must be fruitful. This type of person can only be regarded as the lowest class."

"Zilu has no promises, but by virtue of this, he can only be regarded as a 'little man'. Are you willing to be the lowest taxi in the eyes of Confucius?"

~＋~＋, x. Zilu felt insulted, his teeth rattled: "Of course I don't want to.

"Good, and the second-class clerk is praised by everyone in the clan for his filial piety to his parents, and his fellow villagers praise him for respecting his elder brother and caring for his younger brother."

"Zi Lu was under the tutelage of Confucius. He treated his teachers like his parents, and his peers like brothers. All of them are good enough to be called filial piety, and he has achieved this. He can be recognized as a second-class taxi by Confucius. When Zi Lu reaches this level, he is satisfied and does not want to be in Confucius went a step further and entered the room from the hall?"

Zi Lu's voice softened a little: "Zhong You is naturally unwilling to stop here..."

"If that's the case, then be the top taxi!" Zhao Wuxi pointed at Zilu's heart.

"It's shameful to do it in all directions, without humiliating the ruler's life! Zilu, you have such an opportunity now, can you do it?"

"I..." Zilu was speechless.

Zhao Wuxi once thought that he was among the disciples of Confucius. Zeng Dian, Yan Hui, and Zi Lu were the most difficult to do for themselves.

Zeng Dian is too elegant and casual, Yan Hui is too intelligent, and Zi Lu is too faithful.

But having said that, Wu Xie, who is quite influenced by Zhao Yang's "Love Shi" style, is not exempt from the vulgarity of this brave champion and three armies. In the few short days that Zilu temporarily followed him, he respected the sages, pushed his clothes, and pushed his food and food. He also came forward to ask for a post for him, but this set has been tried many times, and the effect is not great.

As he gradually got to know Zilu, Zhao Wuxi understood. Always come softly, you must be like Confucius and beat Zilu head-on. Only then can this unruly ranger scholar be recovered.

What's more, although there was an accident in Yuncheng and Zhongdu. But Zhao Wuxi didn't want his long-term plan to deliberately release Yanghu to return to the mountain to be flawed, if Yangguan could not be recovered in time. If the situation of Yanghu's comeback in the northern region is caused, it would really be a waste of money to steal chickens.

His plans should not be interrupted by any accident, not for Sanhuan, not for Thief Zhi, not for Confucius!

And Zilu is the key rook (j) in this planned chess game, and you must not miss it!

"Zilu, this is the reason why I stopped you. I understand your desire to save Confucius, but there are still me in Zhongdu, Ziyou, and nearly a thousand soldiers, who will definitely keep Confucius safe. But now The only one who can solve the situation in Yangguan is you, pedestrians and messengers. Your Majesty can send a hundred of them, but you are the only one who can be trusted by Sima in Yangguan! How can you go the other way?"

Zi Lu drank from Zhao Wuxi's big stick, and suddenly realized that what the Master taught and what he was going to do seemed to be contradictory.

If you want to act according to the Master's standard for a scholar, you should continue to fulfill the emperor's order to send the envoy to Yangguan, but according to Zilu's original intention, you want to immediately fly to Zhongdu and disperse all the bandits who are besieging the city.

Zilu stood on the spot, clenching his fists tightly with both hands, and stomped his feet abruptly after the battle between heaven and man for nearly half an hour.

"Forget it, I'll go to Yangguan with a light car!"

He knelt on the ground at the north gate of Lu City, and headed toward the west in the direction of Zhongduyi.

"Zhongdu and Master, please leave it to the doctor. If the crisis can be saved, Zilu is willing to die for the doctor! As long as there is life in the future, don't dare to refuse!"

Zhao Wuxi helped him up and handed a small dark object to Zilu.

"It's good that Zilu can understand Confucius's painstaking efforts. If you go to Yangguan, it will be in five or five numbers. If you bring this thing, it may come in handy."

"What's this?" Zilu only felt that although the thing he started was small, it was heavy, and he couldn't help being shocked after seeing it.

It turned out to be half a gilt silver tiger talisman, made of hard catalpa wood, painted black and engraved with the wrong silver seal script: "The talisman of soldiers and armor, the right is for the king, and the left is for Yangguan. Fan Xingbing is armored and uses more than 100 soldiers. , you will definitely know the talisman, but you dare to do it. Even if you don’t know the talisman, it’s a shame to do it!”

This is the tiger talisman to mobilize the defenders of Yangguan. Of course, the tiger talisman has long since lost its previous role in the state of Lu, where the monarch has lost his power. After being in the hands of Yang Hu, it was used as a token. It was like seeing Fengjun coming in person, but why did it fall into the hands of Zhao Wuxi now?

"Yang Hu was once captured by me. Although he took the opportunity to flee, the tiger talisman fell, why is it any wonder? Zi Lu can use this thing to convince Yangguan Shou to surrender, and I can use it as a doctor in Sanyi to protect him and his subordinates. The officers and soldiers are all right."

"That's it." Zi Lu is a straight person, plus he was convinced by Zhao Wuxi's words, and he respected him very much, so he didn't think much about it.

After he made a decision, he no longer hesitated, and immediately drove off toward the north, not even waiting for the extra soldiers.

Behind Zhao Wuxi, Ran Qiu said with emotion: "Senior Brother Zilu is stubborn, no one dares to provoke him on weekdays, and only the master can teach him a thing or two. The doctor is the second person who can convince him, and Ran Qiu admires him."

Zhao Wuxi shook his head helplessly: "Alas. The country's fortunes are many, and we can only do our best. I hope that Zilu's trip can successfully complete the emperor's life and relieve the troubles in the north."

Now that he has agreed, he no longer delays, and immediately ordered: "Mu Xia, Tian Ben, the two of you will immediately return to the west of the city to gather troops, and strive to be able to start at any time today."

"As for the rescue of Zhongdu, Ziyou, this matter is no trivial matter, and I can't make a decision alone. I must inform the two officials of Ji and Meng."

What Wu Xie thought in his heart was, how could he allow himself to undertake the responsibility of suppressing pirates that was shared by all the ministers? If you don't take the opportunity to ask for more benefits, how can you be worthy of yourself, how can you be worthy of the **** and sweaty sons of your subordinates?

...

At the same time that Ran Qiu came to Qufu from Yuncheng all night to report the news, Ji Shi and Meng Shi also learned the news of Robber Zhi looting the surrounding cities from different channels.

After receiving the notification from the car, Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji, who had returned to the mansion, had the same reaction, that is, they immediately called their retainers to discuss. Because of Shao Zhengmao's analysis in the morning, Ji Sunsi had already expected the rise of robbery. But he didn't expect such a violent attack, and the Meng family was a little caught off guard. Fortunately, Zifu He knew a lot about the Onoze pirates.

They are all analyzing how this robbery and rebellion will harm and benefit them.

"The Meng family doesn't have any lands or fields there. On the contrary, Zhao Zitai's three cities and towns are all near Dayezawa and Lei Ze. It would be better if the group of thieves and him could be harmed both ways!" Yang calculates like this.

As for the central capital of Confucius. He is just a despicable scholar, a place the size of a palm. It's not worth Mengshi's efforts to help. Although Confucius was a teacher of rites and music for Mengsun Heji, Mengsun did not have a good relationship with him. Only Nangong Yue and Zifu, who were friends with Confucius, were worried and advised whether they needed to send troops to expel Yi or two.

Gong Lianyang, on the other hand, opposes Zifuhe righteously: "The Ji family is in power, and they have gathered more than a thousand private members in the past two days. Why not let them go?"

Of course, Ji's side also thinks so: "Meng's army has a lot of soldiers, and their vitality was not damaged during the Yanghu rebellion, why not they go?"

Even in Shaozhengmao's view, Confucius, as a deceitful person established by Yanghu, since Yanghu has fallen, he should also be dismissed as Yanghu's remaining party. The past is selectively forgotten.

The final conclusion is that although the robbers are menacing, they are nothing more than scabies. After robbing this wave, they will retreat into the swampy mountains and forests for the winter as usual. Anyway, Onozawa is very far from Qufu, and the two families rarely have lords there, and they will not infringe on their core interests, so Erqing showed indifference.

In addition to competing and guarding against outsider Zhao Wuxi, Er Huan also hoped to find Yanghu's trace as soon as possible and recapture Feiyi, Yangguan, and Guancheng that were still in the hands of the rebels. Although there is no clear division of responsibilities, their focus for the next period of time has been determined.

Zilu went to Yangguan as the messenger of the Ji clan to recruit surrender, while the main force of the Ji clan was to guard against the rebels of the two thousand Gongshan in Feiyi. The Meng clan wanted to remove Guancheng, which was north of Yudi, their main city. If there was a chance, they would take Yangguan eastward and control the entire northern border.

Either it is imminent, or it is profitable, but it is thankless to encircle the pirates. After receiving Zhao Wuxi’s request to hold a public meeting, Ji Shi and Meng Shi actually took a perfunctory attitude. Reconsideration.

Meng's son Lianyang said gloatingly: "Anyway, Zhao Wuxi's duty was to retake Yuncheng, and he has already done it now. , Hecai's strong army? This time, it's better to do it alone! If he leaves, we will just take over the west of the city, and the tigers and wolves of Lu City will be able to drive away!"

Shaozhengmao, who joined Ji's family, planned this way: "In power, as I said, Zhao Wuxi became a oriole and was able to eat his fill in the Yanghu Rebellion. If you think about it, let Liu Xiazhi be the slingshot man behind him and weaken him a bit."

After sending someone to invite each other to touch the ashes, Zhao Wuxi completely saw through these two short-sighted clans, who had internal struggles first and foreign wars shrinking. In the Central Capital, Zhao Wuxi had already sent the light knights to spy on the enemy's situation, and it would not delay the rescue tomorrow.

In the tent, Mu Xia, Tian Ben and other military officials who had just assembled their soldiers were furious at this, and they suggested that they simply ignore Ji and Meng, and leave the city on their own. Wu Zun always emphasized that military action must be decisive and decisive, so he was very impatient with the procrastination of the second minister of the State of Lu.

Even Ran Qiu, who has always been modest and slow, couldn't help but scolded: "No wonder the Master once said that San Huan and others who are in power are all small and small, so what's the point?"

Although Zhao Wuxi was sullen but not impulsive, he turned and asked Ran Qiu: "Ziyou, you said that in addition to seeing three or four thousand bandits besieging Zhongdu, you also saw a steady stream of bandits rushing to the south. ?"

"Exactly, it was already evening, but the thieves were densely packed, some by boat, some on foot, and at a glance, it was impossible to see the edge."

Zhao Wuxi pondered attentively, that on the map of Lu Kingdom that had been engraved in his heart, the south of the Central Capital was exactly...

He silently praised the robber in his heart, and smiled: "Two or three sons, don't be in a hurry, as the saying goes, without far-sightedness, there must be near-term worries, and soon, Ji and Meng will be crying and begging me to send troops. Thief."

All the officers looked at each other in dismay, only Ran Qiu thought for a moment and then realized something.

Sure enough, when it was almost evening, when the latest news came, Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji, who had been calm and composed, both jumped anxiously.

They, who had been dealing with government affairs at home on weekdays, gathered in the public palace by coincidence, but they did not care about their modesty and sent three waves of people to invite Zhao Wuxi to come to discuss the matter, not even the previous intrigue. The careful thoughts they planned with their retainers seemed to have become a huge joke under Robber Zhi's sharp tactics.

So when Zhao Wuxi looked at the unrepaired scene of the Lu Palace and walked slowly to Shi Shiran, where the discussions were held, Shi Shiran bowed to Erqing, he knew that what he expected was not bad. Knowing is much more serious.

Ji Sunsi's eyes were flushed, and he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together. The ying under Meng's crown turned upside down. He also paced up and down, and when he saw Zhao Wuxi coming in, he hurriedly grabbed him, even speaking incoherently. .

"Zi Tai, Zi Tai, you can count, besides Yuncheng and Zhongdu, the robber actually attacked Kancheng!"

"Kancheng?" Zhao Wuqi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. He had already guessed the action of Robber Zhi, and he also understood what Er Huan was worried about. Excellent sound hits the east and west.

Kancheng is located east of Dayeze and west of Qufu, seventy miles to the south of Zhongdu.

But there is an extraordinary political status there~lightnovelpub.net~ The princes have their own public cemeteries, and Kancheng, also known as Kanling, is where the tombs of the first emperors of the state of Lu are located. Headed by the tomb of Duke Huan of Lu, whose land is as high as 15 feet, the eight dynasties of Zhuang, Min, Xi, Wen, Xuan, Cheng, Xiang, and Zhao are all buried on the south side of his tomb! It is guarded by the Kan city wall.

If this is the case, the robber Zhi, who is rumored to be often engaged in the activities of "a cave-room pivotal household, digging the tomb of a scholar-doctor and taking its bright weapon", will enter that place. Tsk tsk, the story in it can probably be written in a book of "Notes on Tomb Raiders: Qixing Lu Palace".
