Chapter 155 The Three Hundred Warriors of Lu State

In recent years, all the singers trained by Lu Keji have been sent to various family mansions and helped Zhao find out the news. It was a game of idle chess set up by Zhao Wu.

Of course, in this era of poor communication, Zhao Wu did not think that a few female spies could play a big role. It was just that Lu Keji was idle and volunteered. Zhao Wu left the lobby and he had already put this matter behind him.

In the back hall, the windows were bright and bright, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were inlaid with luxurious and expensive transparent glass. Now these glass windows were all open. When the breeze blew, the light blue window screens were flying gracefully, just like the very knowledgeable maiden danced silently. At the entrance of the hall, Zhao Wu took off his shoes and put on his feet in his footwear (socks) to step on the wooden floor. The wooden floor made of oak was painted with bright paint, and the paint was a little light white, which made the oak floor look like the color of North American maple - of course, people in this era did not know what North American maple is.

Zhao Wu walked on the wooden floor of Meilun Meiyang without making any sound. He paused for a moment at the entrance of the hall. At this moment, the sound of music deliberately lowered in the hall floated into his ears like silk threads. Han Qi sat in the guest chief, enjoying the music while eating and eating. On Han Qi's head, there were several cases alone. Zhao Cheng, the eldest son of Zhao's family, sat alone with the guests, while Zhao Cheng's younger brother and sister sat around another big table, eating happily and chatting. In addition, Zhao and Han's family members were also in a bunch of different people, eating and laughing and enjoying singing and dancing, and talking about strange and strange things.

The high place is cold, and this may be the loneliness that those with high positions must be.

After Zhao Wu entered the dining room, the warriors stopped talking and saluted Zhao Wu in turn. Zhao Wu lazily passed through the half-crystal crowd, walked to Zhao Cheng and sat down, waved his hand, signaling the children to come and eat together, but his children shook their heads together. Only his only daughter Lan'er responded to the father's call, came to Zhao Wu and Zhao Cheng's table to sit down, snatched the food from the brother's plate, took a bite, stuck out his tongue, and said, "The food on the brother's table tastes the same as ours!... I thought it would be a little delicious."

Zhao Wu looked at his daughter indulge in love and got a glass of juice for him. Lan'er took a big sip and replied: "Don't shout, my father, the other younger brothers will not come. Shi Bao (teacher) once taught that the eldest son has different identities, and he can only eat alone according to the rules, or entertain guests at the same table as his father. Shi Bao also said that even his mother is not allowed to eat at the same table as him, which is the rule."

Zhao Wu looked at the taciturn Zhao Cheng and shook his head gently: "With this kind of rule, what kind of family affection does brothers and sisters still have... Well, they are not here, why do you dare to come?"

Lan'er tasted the food on his brother's table one by one, and replied quickly: "I'm different. I'm a woman, and I don't need to tell the rules with my brother. Besides, my father spoiled me, and I snatched food with my father, and my retainers would not scold him."

Zhao Wu touched his daughter's head, then touched Zhao Cheng's head, and said with emotion: "As long as I, Zhao, are harmonious, how can outsiders violate us..."

Han Qi swallowed a sip of wine and interrupted, "I just heard that Uncle Sun Bao is here again, and he will say goodbye to you, right?"

Zhao Wu nodded: "I'll let him take the Jia family's path."

Han Qi casually said: "We are preparing to attack Qi State. Shu Sun Bao found out in advance. Will it be passed to Qi State?"

"It doesn't matter. War is imminent. Even if the people of Qi know about it, they will not have time to adjust their deployment."

After a moment of pause, Zhao Wu added: "Shusun Bao met Qi Xi in the palace city. He is recommending the monarch's lieutenant and the marquis of the army to the monarch..."

After hearing Zhao Wu's explanation, Han Qi commented: "Old fox!"

Zhao Wu nodded and echoed: "It's indeed an old fox. He first recommended his enemy Jie Hu. Others thought he recommended it out of public opinion, but who is Jie Hu? Although I don't like dating with nobles, I am not very familiar with Jie Hu. However, Qi Xi will never find someone much younger than him to be an enemy. Qi Xi went to the monarch to ask for retirement - he is about to retire. How many years can Jie Hu work? So the answer is: Jie Hu must be too old to do things.

This guy first recommends a dying enemy to make others think that he is doing things fairly, and then recommends his son to the top ranks with 'just'. It's cunning."

Han Qi burst out laughing: "According to your words, Qi Xi's 'Offering does not avoid revenge, and does not avoid revenge within,' is an omitted statement. The complete statement should be: 'Offering does not avoid revenge outside - dying; 'Offering does not avoid revenge inside - my son...hahaha!"

Zhao Cheng interrupted: "It's really disgusting to be a person like this who is just kind and righteous. He has a good reputation, but his stomach is full of bad water."

Zhao Wu sighed: "I usually pretend to be honest in front of others, but you only learn from my honesty and not my wisdom - son, can such a person be denyed in person? You must follow everyone to praise him, so that others will think you are really honest. Otherwise, if you are smart and revealing, isn't this a reminder to others to guard against you?"

Han Qi leaned over to teach Zhao Cheng: "Zhao's family almost destroyed the clan in the 'Second Palace Rebellion'. In that chaos, the marshal and Sanqiu both wanted to take advantage of it, but in the end, Zhao's fief fell on Qi Xi, who quietly. Qi Xi has always had a reputation of justice and integrity in the country, but this just person is the biggest beneficiary of the 'Second Palace Rebellion'. He quietly occupied Zhao's territory. If he had no contribution to the 'Second Palace Rebellion', would the monarch reward Zhao's territory to Qi Xi?"

Zhao Wu then added: "This person is like a poisonous snake hidden under the crack of a stone. But this person still enjoys a reputation of justice and integrity. Can such a person be easily provoked? How can you comment on him in person?"

Lan'er shouted food and nodded and said, "I understand. I know there is a snake under the stone. If you don't want to catch a snake, don't move the stone. Once you move the stone, don't let the snake escape from your palm... Father, is this the reason?"

Zhao Wu praised, "It's still my baby Lan'er who is smart."

Zhao Cheng was a little depressed. Zhao Wu touched his head and comforted him, "You are still young and don't know that the people here are sinister. But it doesn't matter. My father acted like to keep people from thousands of miles away and rarely dated other families, just to protect you. Once the Zhao family established this family rules, you don't have to worry about being betrayed and helping the other party count money when they are betrayed during the interaction with other families."

Han Qi interrupted with concern: "Then you still need to leave a few good retainers for the child... Oh, is the king going to appoint the military Hou Yan? Why don't I know that you are planning to give up the position of Hou Yan? What are you planning to arrange for Wu Xun?"

Zhao Wu replied: "Wu Xun, I plan to take it back and specialize in studying the family's weapon configuration. I hand over all the official positions that the Shangjun should hand over in the future..."

Han Qi burst out laughing: "Come on! If you hand over all those official positions, can the Zhao army still attack as sharply as before in the future?... Actually, I sometimes envy you. You said you have led the army for many years, and how many times have you met the five officials in the army met? Haha, all the trivial matters in the army are handled by your retainers. The loyalty and competence of the Zhao retainers is really enviable."

"The Zhao family's retainers are really capable." A while later, Shu Sun Bao, who was walking in Jia's family, also expressed the same emotion.

It is winter now, and the trees are ridiculed by the ministers of Jin, so that he is so angry that he comforts his soldiers - I don't teach others how to be smart.

However, Fangcheng was able to gather 300 soldiers, which was a heroic event in "The Spring and Autumn Annals".

The three hundred armored soldiers were not uniform. Among them, the senior warriors were wealthy from a family and were wearing military plate bronze armor assisted by Zhao's family. The lower warriors were wearing willow armor (wooden armor) used by baseball players who had passed down from Zhaocheng... However, these were at least three hundred full armored warriors. When these people gathered at the Fangcheng Gate with great courage, Zang Jian was very satisfied with it. He pointed to the three warriors and explained to Zang Wuzhong: "Our Lu State has always been close to the Zhao family, so it is not easy for us to collect three hundred Zhao armor among the Dukes and Ministers of Lu State.

Please rest assured, although the Qi State's army besieged the city, they are not ready to turn against Jin State. Three hundred warriors wearing Zhao's armor suddenly appeared in our front city. The Qi State's people were unsure of their decision and would not dare to intercept..."

Zang Jian’s prediction was indeed correct.

Three hundred soldiers surrounded Zang Wuzhong's chariot - the Zhao carriage, and walked out of Fangcheng slowly. Along the way, they were deliberately imitating the rigid pursuit of the Jin army's ranks and their calm expressions. The Qi army opposite was stunned when they saw this phenomenon. They stared at the Lu army and walked through their camp in a walking posture...

In the accounts of "Spring and Autumn", it is often seen that some warriors walk through the enemy camp when the army is besieging the city - this is not surprising. The more disciplined the army pays attention to "orders and prohibitions", that is, the soldiers are not allowed to go out without permission.

When they saw the troops who were crossing the besieged city, the Qi soldiers who had contacted them in advance were at a loss. If they attacked themselves and violated the military orders, who would be the one who would be in the event of war damage?

The people of Qi who were undecided sent a messenger to ask the army commander. The messenger walked with his feet. While he was moving, the warriors who had traveled through the enemy camp were also moving. When the messenger of Qi reported to the marshal of the army, the enemy almost walked out of the army's camp. Even if the commander ordered the interception without hesitation, the messenger would come to the front of the position and notify the attacking troops to dispatch... It is estimated that the enemy had already penetrated the entire camp.

In other words, the army's active offensive spirit in this era is probably only the despicable and shameless army under Zhao Wu, who does not pay attention to battlefield etiquette, and who specializes in taking advantage of small gains, will make the arrogant move of "take it first, then ask for instructions."

However, no matter what, it takes great courage to be able to travel through tens of thousands of troops alone - under the eyes of thousands of thousands, it is not something that ordinary people do. In modern times, when many people walk onto the podium, they are already dry and thirsty when facing the gaze of forty or fifty people.

The people of Lu were indeed warriors. They passed through the ten-mile camp of Qi calmly. After success, Zang Wuzhong wiped his sweat and said with emotion: "The people of Qi dared not attack us, a group of people with mixed armor... In fact, we did not disguise the people of Jin. The people of Jin have always been neat and neat. Such an untidy 'flowered' queue may only be done when Zhao Wuzi was poor."

Xi Shuhe replied: "That's right! The Zhao family's auxiliary soldiers were chaotic, and their caravans were always guarded by auxiliary soldiers. The more chaotic our armor was, the more like the Zhao family's caravan guards, the hesitant the Qi people were, the more time we had to pass."

Among the three warriors, the other two nodded vigorously, expressing their agreement with Xi Shuhe's words.

Zang Wuzhong paused for a moment and sighed: "The momentum of the overlord country is really longing for. Our Lu State just pretends to be the Zhao caravan, which has made the Qi people dare not act rashly. This may be domineering..."

Zang Wuzhong was a saint of Lu, and the word "saint" means particularly wise in the Spring and Autumn Period. But what Zang Wuzhong said shows that he did not thoroughly understand the fundamental reason why the Qi people did not fight back. This is not his fault. Because to understand the slow reaction of Qi people, one needs to start from psychology and informatics. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although there were endless wise people, none of them discovered the mystery.

The soldiers of Fangcheng City were walking on the hard ground in winter. Zang Wuzhong looked back and looked at it. At this time, there were no people moving on the Qilu Plain, except for the Qi army behind it. The Qi people were so powerful that the people of Lu had already frightened and fled. Now, the nearby city-states have begun to close the city and hold on, and there are no people in the wilderness who dared to move privately.

In such an atmosphere, Zang Wuzhong was escorted to Lusing Song by three hundred warriors all the way to the sunlight. There was nothing new. A hundred years later, when the Hot Spring Pass was closed, the 300 Spartan warriors were calm and fearless in the face of the 200,000 Persian army. Now, the 300 Lu warriors showed their courage similar to the Warm in the Hot Spring Pass in advance, and calmly passed through the 200,000 Qi army camp.

It was not over yet. Zang Wuzhong exchanged several greetings with the officials of Lu State who were greeting him at the gate of Lusong City. The 300 warriors who accompanied him were unwilling to enter the city. They bowed to Zang Wuzhong and said goodbye: "Master, Fangcheng Guards are weak. After we left, the number of Fangcheng Guards is not enough. If the army in the same army attacks the city, I am afraid that the people will not have a strong sense of fighting because of the departure of the head of the family. Therefore, please allow us to go back and defend our home."
