Chapter 595 A scene with the best of both worlds
Gao Zhang listened to Kong Qiu's change of subject, pointed at Tian Qi, thought for a while, and then replied:
"Tian Qi has always shown his kindness and righteousness to others. In the eyes of the Chinese people, going out to serve is an act of militarism, which is naturally unpopular. However, although he does not hold military power, most of the military is his spy. So , to say that he has no such ambition, I am afraid it is not entirely true."
When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help pretending to suddenly realize:
"Oh! It turns out that's the case. No wonder every time you go out to lead the army, it's either the general or Lord Guoxia! It seems... Tian Qi is deliberately trying to wear down the reputation of the Gao family and the Guo family!"
Hearing this, Gao Zhang couldn't help clenching his fist secretly.
"What Zhongni said is true. Over the years, I, the Gao family and the Guo family, have repeatedly dispatched troops under the orders of the emperor, but have done nothing. In the eyes of the widow and the common people, I am afraid that I am not as good as the Tian family..."
"Hehe, so this time, I have to earn some military merits from you to go back! Otherwise, I'm afraid that our Gao family will have more and more difficulty gaining a foothold in Qi State!"
Hearing what Gao Zhang said, Kong Qiu knew it was just a bluff, so he couldn't help laughing and said:
"The general is right, but does the general think that the reason why Chengyi is difficult to break through is only because of the high and strong city walls?"
Gao Zhang heard the words, but couldn't help asking with great interest:
"Oh? Is there any other reason?"
At this time, Confucius made an analogy with his hands:
"May I ask General, if you use your left hand to tap your right hand, how much strength can you exert?"
Gao Zhang didn't know why, but he replied:
"Since you can't use all your strength, only [-]% of your strength, I'm afraid it's too much."
After hearing this, Kong Qiu couldn't help but nodded:
"What the general said is true! Therefore, Chengyi is like the right hand, and Master Lu is like the left hand. The reason why the world thinks Master Lu is weak is because Lu Guo is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. , I can’t do my best.”
"But... if it is to resist foreign enemies..."
Kong Qiu suddenly paused, then smiled again, and clasped his fists together.
And Gao Zhang followed Kong Qiu's words and asked:
"So what?"
Confucius punched twice again:
"Naturally, we have to work hard! Master Lu may not be able to win a city, but he will never be merciless in the face of foreign enemies! Shuqiu said bluntly, the 3 people led by the general, five hundred times, want to stop here I'm afraid it won't be that easy to defeat my Master Lu!"
"At that time, the general will not gain an inch of merit, but will lose his troops. How will Mr. Gao explain to Marquis Qi? How will he face Tian Qi's accountability?"
Gao Zhang couldn't help but think of what Prince Tu said before he left.
For a moment, he felt that what Kong Qiu said had some truth.
However, although the principle is this principle, in front of Confucius, he must not lose his composure.
Therefore, Gao Zhang still insisted:
"Hehe, the 3 horses in my country of Qi are all the elite of our country! Zhongni said so... Is it too small for my country of Qi?"
Confucius said directly:
"General, I, Kong Qiu, know the Qi country anyway. Qi has [-] masters. In Qiu's opinion, even if they are elite, they are nothing more than that!"
"What's more, the general thinks, why did our Master Lu choose to remove the siege of Chengyi, and rashly lead our troops to confront the general? Hehe, let's tell the truth to the general. Now, Gonglianyang will only examine Duodu in Chengyi , just play by ear!"
Gao Zhang bowed his head and thought for a long time, but did not speak for a long time.
Confucius said again:
"Qi State is certainly strong, and Lu State is certainly weak. But our Lu State is by no means comparable to an ordinary small country! If we really go to war with Qi Shida, is the general really confident that he can deal with it?"
"General, Qiu's words today are all from the bottom of his heart. It's just because the general has been taken in by Qiu, and he is here to meet the general frankly! If the general can get out of his body, it will be better than humiliating Qi Shi again! "
Gao Zhang's eyes flickered, obviously he had been persuaded by Kong Qiu, and Ran Qiu on the side continued to say:
"My teacher's words can be said to be transparent, please think again, general!!"
Gao Zhang stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth, while Kong Qiu sat and waited beside him. After careful consideration, Gao Zhang looked at Kong Qiu again:
"Zhongni, then... what do you think Ben Qing should do?"
Obviously, although what Kong Qiu said was reasonable, it was still not enough to make Gao Zhang retreat.
Confucius heard this question and said calmly:
"Hehe, it's very simple. You only need to ask the general to go back and explain. This battle cannot be won without a fight. But how to fight it is very particular!"
Gao Zhang said slowly:
"Oh? What Yi Zhongni meant...but how should we fight?"
Kong Qiu nodded and said:
"My Lu division is willing to retreat another [-] miles. The general can lead his troops to occupy the two places of Guan and Chan, and then he can retreat. So, what does the general think?"
Gao Zhang thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure it out:
"If I get the two places of Guan and Chan, I can go back and resume my life, but what you are doing, Zhongni, is probably against the righteousness of a minister, right?!"
When Confucius heard this, he laughed loudly and said:
"Hehe, thank you General for your concern. As a minister of Lu, how can Qiu be unjust? Since Qiu has a way to let him go, he has his own way to get him back..."
"The general should think carefully about how to deal with the Tian family after returning to the country. The current situation of the general is probably not good. The rise of the Tian family is the big worry of the Qi country, the hidden worry of the Qi country! "
Gao Zhang said:
"Okay! Guan, Chan, Erdi and Chengyi are the corners of the world. It would be reasonable for me to return to my teacher and return to my command. If so, then Ben Qing would be more respectful than obedient. When I lead my master to occupy Erdi, then Withdraw your troops and return! But... As for how you should reclaim the lost land, I don't care about it?!"
Confucius clapped his hands and laughed loudly:
"Okay! Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow!"
Gao Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.
In fact, how could he not know how much the [-] soldiers and horses in his hands could do?What's more, Prince Tu had already instructed him to preserve his strength before he set off on the expedition.
Moreover, if Gong Lianyang is really ready to sit on the sidelines, he will stand still there.And he was the only one fighting with Master Lu there.
There is indeed no need to fight this battle!
The two sides agreed that after Gao Zhang and Kong Qiu said goodbye to each other, they drove their carriages back to the front camp.
As soon as Kong Qiu arrived, he saw that Li Ran and Fan Li had been waiting for a long time. Kong Qiu would recount the conversation with Gao Zhang in detail. After listening to it, Li Ran also heaved a sigh of relief.
"This level, it seems that there is no accident, it is over!"
Ran Qiu asked:
"Then...can we focus on Chengyi now?"
Li Ran shook his head and said:
"No, it will take some time! Although Gao Zhang has already agreed, there may be quite a few Tian Qi's eyeliners among the Qi teachers. Whether Gao Zhang can be restrained by then is still a question It's hard to say. Therefore, the matter of Chengyi has to be put on hold for now!"
Kong Qiu also nodded and said:
"Enggong's words are very true. This matter really needs to be waited and watched. Now the situation is changing, and it will affect the whole body, so we need to be careful!"
