Fan Yang and Ji Sun Yiru looked at each other secretly, and then replied with disdain:
"Ji was not at fault, but the king wanted to attack him. He asked to be imprisoned, but was not allowed. He asked to be expelled, but was not allowed. Is there such a king in the world? In the end, The Marquis of Lu failed to win, and the monarch himself chose to go into exile, which was not Ji's original intention!"
"Fan Zhongjun, even if this statement is true. However, the king and his ministers are in order, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. Moreover, in this world, we have only heard of ministers in exile. How can there be any reason why ministers are content in the country while the king is in exile? This matter , how can you put the cart before the horse?"
Beigong Xiru retorted.
Fan Yang heard this, but he still didn't take it seriously and continued to argue:
"Jisun was spared, probably because God wanted to save him! At that time, even the uncle and grandson who had always been at odds with the Ji family chose to support the Ji family. This shows that the Ji family is supported by the people and the clan of the country. So, why should outsiders like us interfere? The most urgent task at the moment is to resolve the chaos in the royal family." (As for the chaos in the Lu Kingdom, I will not mention it here. To predict what will happen next, see the following article)
"If the Song and Wei Kingdoms insist on supporting the Marquis of Lu to return to their country, this is actually Martingale's wish. In this case, after you return to the country, please ask the two monarchs on your behalf to send troops first to surround Qufu!"
After hearing this, Beigong Xi and Le Qili couldn't help but look at each other. In fact, everyone can tell that Fan Yang's verbal support is clearly contradictory. But what it contains is full of threats.
At this point, the two of them did not dare to say anything more.
When Fan Yang saw this, he couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, let them handle the affairs of the Lu State themselves. Let's not mention it for now. All the ancestors have also received favors from the royal family. Now they should repay their kindness!"
At this point, the return of Marquis Lu was blocked by Fan Yang, and no one dared to mention it again.
…
In this alliance, Fan Yang can be said to have established a solid foundation. So Fan Yang ordered Zhao Yang and Xun Shu to be the first troops to lead the Jin army into the Zhou Dynasty.
Coincidentally, at this time, Wang Zichao also ordered Yin Yu to step up his attack on Gongdi. Zhao Yang led the army to attack, and an encounter was inevitable.
After all, Zhao Yang was young and energetic, so he took the lead. After a burst of killing, he directly dispersed Yin Yu's camp.
Yin Yu was defeated and returned, so he had to return to Luoyi in person to resume his life. When Wang Zichao learned that Yin Yu was defeated and that the Jin State sent troops again, it was not his daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Since the last time Yin Bu Ni used Bao Gui as an excuse, Wang Zichao had already had murderous intentions towards Li Ran. Just when he was hesitating, he was suddenly defeated again. Wang Zichao knew that now he couldn't kill Li Ran!
Not long after, Liu Yi, who had been besieged for many days, also received support from the Jin State. His morale increased greatly, and he defeated the Wang Zichao's army in Shiyi. Suddenly, the situation suddenly reversed, and Luoyi was in danger!
】
As for the civil and military officials around Wang Zichao, they were all helpless at this time. When Wang Zichao asked, there was silence in the main hall. No one offered any suggestions. Wang Zichao couldn't help but get angry:
"You talk a lot on weekdays, but when something happens you are at a loss to do anything. What's the use of you?"
Nangong Lao stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the cities around Luoyi are still there. Although they have suffered two major defeats, the foundation is still there. Your Majesty does not need to be so worried!"
"Then Zhao Yangling of Jin State is so brave. Is there anyone around him who can deal with him?"
"This... General Wei, who is currently on an expedition, should be able to fight!"
Yin BuNi hesitated and answered like this.
The prince snorted coldly.
"Ou Luo may be brave, but he is far behind his father! It's a pity that his father is dead... He alone may not be Zhao Yang's opponent!"
At this time, Ji Huan, who was not very involved in court discussions, spoke from the side:
"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"
"Ai Qing, tell me quickly!"
Wang Zichao looked at Ji Huan expectantly. Ji Huan didn't speak much in the court, but every time he spoke, it gave him confidence.
"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom is sending out troops now, and its morale is at its peak, making it difficult to resist. If there are no good generals to respond to the enemy, something bad may happen! For the current plan, it is better to use Sun Wu again! Sun Wu is both wise and brave, and his bravery is unmatched by anyone in the contemporary era. Right. If he goes to meet the enemy, even Zhao Yang will hardly be his opponent!"
The prince showed a pleasant look on his face. Someone had finally thought of a countermeasure, but he still had doubts.
"Sun Wu is indeed a match, but he is currently under house arrest by Gu. I'm afraid... he is unwilling to do so. How can he kill the enemy for Gu?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Li Ran is still in our hands, so you have nothing to worry about. Sun Wu is extremely loyal to Li Ran. If Li Ran's life is on the line, he will not dare to disobey!"
Although this move can be done, it is actually completely at a disadvantage morally. Wang Zichao could not help but still hesitate.
At this time, Yin Buyi added another boost:
"Your Majesty, what Duke Zhao said is very true! Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Moreover, this move also gives them an opportunity to redeem themselves and make meritorious deeds. There is nothing wrong with saying so!"
"Hey... that's alright! If you're not being sarcastic, it's up to you to tell Sun Wuyan about this matter. Remember to pay attention to your words and don't offend him!"
Yin Buxie leaned over and said:
"No! I understand, I will handle it now!"
So, after Yin Bulin resigned, he took his guards and went directly to where Sun Wu was under house arrest. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Chu Dang beating the big tree in the center of the courtyard with his fists. The bark was flying and the tree was crumbling.
"This guy has quite a bit of brute strength!"
Yin BuNi whispered a few words disdainfully in his heart.
When Chu Dang saw Yin BuNi, he stopped, widened his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Traitor! Are you ready to let us out when?"
Yin Buyin felt his ears ringing and almost fainted. He was also a little afraid that this fool would hit him, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the guards were also waiting for him.
Sun Wu heard the noise and came out.
"Chu Dang, don't be rude!"
Chu Dang said in a rough voice:
"You trapped us here inexplicably, but you say I'm rude? These people deserve to be beaten!"
Sun Wu stepped closer to Chu Dang and whispered:
"Sir's safety is important!"
When Chu Dang heard this, he was immediately frustrated, and then even more angry, screaming.
"It really makes me angry! These bastards... ah ah ah ah!"
Chu Dang ran to the big tree and hammered it again. The big tree shook like chaff, and the leaves fell to the ground. He looked so gloomy and heartbroken. If this punch hit him, he would probably be killed by just one punch.
"I wonder why Master Yin came here today?"
Sun Wu endured the humiliation for Li Ran and treated them politely on the surface.
Yin Buyi came back to his senses and immediately greeted him with a smile:
"Oh, haha. I'm not just here to say hello, I'm here to congratulate the general!"
Sun Wu replied angrily:
"Oh? I wonder what the happy event is?"
"General Sun, now is the time for generals to make meritorious deeds! Your Majesty wants to activate General Sun again and give him the post of commanding the royal army!"
When Chu Dang heard this, he couldn't help being stunned and stopped his fists.
"Is this true?!"
Sun Wu, however, obviously had little interest in this, and just replied coldly:
"Master Yin has good intentions, and I accept it with my heart. However, since Wu has been relieved of his military power, even if he is given another order now, how can the soldiers be willing to obey? Even if I do, I may not be able to save it!"
"Haha, General Sun...does it mean he has a grudge in his heart? Doesn't he want to serve the Emperor again?"
"No, Wu just told the truth! But Lord Lao Yin's journey was in vain!"
When Yin Buyi heard this, he put away his smiling face, straightened his face, curled his lips and said:
"General Sun... doesn't he care about Mr. Ziming's safety?"
When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help but pause.
"Master Yin, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to threaten my husband's life?"
"Buyi doesn't mean this, but General Sun and Mr. Ziming are brothers after all. I advise the general to be more cautious when dealing with this matter!"
Yin BuNi narrowed his iconic triangular eyes and said.
