The Jade Emperor Told Me to Live-stream! Chapter 569: Return to the royal family
The six nations of Qi, Ju, Tan, Xu, Song, and Wei have allied forces against Lu, and Lu is facing an extremely dangerous situation.
Many subjects were very frightened and did not know how to deal with this situation, but Confucius did not show the slightest nervousness, and even held a banquet in Qufu, singing and dancing.
Getting this situation in the Lu State made Qi State and other monarchs who wanted to conquer Lu State a sigh of relief, saying: "Lu State seems to have accepted his fate and does not intend to struggle anymore."
The monarch of Qi State called the other five monarchs together and said: "We will come down, we must fight steadily, and fully encircle Lu State, let Lu State become history!"
When the six-nation coalition marched to Lu, Confucius held a banquet on the one hand, and on the other hand sent eloquent Zigong and Ziwo to Chu and Jin to request reinforcements.
On the other hand, while strengthening the border defense, Confucius dispatched Zilu to lead a team through the Taiyi Mountains and lie in ambush, waiting for a favorable opportunity to launch an offensive against Qiguo.
Confucius said to Zilu: "It is no longer possible to solve the problem of Lu State with pure defense. Only by taking the initiative can it be solved."
For the reinforcements of Chu and Jin, Confucius will definitely complete the mission. As a big country, Chu and Jin cannot let Qi eliminate Lu.
There is the law of balance among them.
Qi, Chu, and Jin are all big countries, and they all have ambitions for hegemony, so if any one of them is strong, it will cause extremely serious consequences for the other two.
Just like now, once Qi State takes Lu State, its national strength will be greatly improved, which is very detrimental to Chu State and Jin State.
Sure enough, as Confucius had expected, under the persuasion of Zigong and Ziwo, Chu and Jin agreed to send troops without even paying much.
Therefore, Qi, Ju, Tan, Xu, Song, and Weiguo have not yet begun to attack Lu. Chu and Jin have already stepped up their troops to put pressure on the six countries and order them. The troops must be withdrawn.
Among them, the generals of Jin have already moved to the borders of Qi and Wei, while Chu is directly threatening the rear of Tan, Xu, and Song.
It can be said that the allied forces of Qi, Ju, Tan, Xu, Song, Weiguo have not yet fought against Lu, they are already facing the embarrassment of being attacked back and forth.
"It's okay." In the face of the panic-stricken five other monarchs, Monarch Qi pretended to be calm and authentic: "This opportunity is rare. Once Lu is strong, we will not have any good fruits. Don't be afraid, we change our strategy. , Quickly defeated Lu State, and wiped out Lu State before Jin and Chu attacked. Then they would have no excuse to send troops."
As soon as the Qi state monarch said "it's okay", I saw a Qi state general hurriedly came to the big tent, and said hurriedly: "Qi King, the big thing is not good. The Lu state army has passed over from nowhere. After reaching the Taiyi Mountains, I went straight to Linzi."
"What?" King Qi was shocked. Once his capital was breached, it would be meaningless even to capture Lu. At that time, he would face attacks from Chu and Jin, and Qi would be destroyed. Not far away.
The king of Qi thought for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Withdraw troops!"
As the Qi State withdrew its troops, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations became a joke, and the Ju State, Tan State, Xu State, Song State, and Wei State also withdrew their troops.
In this way, the six-nation coalition that put pressure on Lu was just established and spent a lot of materials. It was a joke at the time that the troops hurriedly withdrew before entering Lu.
The crisis of the Lu Kingdom was resolved within Confucius's fingertips, which greatly enhanced Confucius' prestige. The people were all at heart for a while, and the country became stronger.
However, it is not easy for Lu Kingdom to expand its influence. This is because he is almost caught between several big countries and there is no room for expansion.
Faced with such a problem, Zi Gong once asked Confucius: "Sir, the country of Lu is now strong and we can’t just give up such a rare opportunity! However, other countries are okay to say that Qi Chujin looks at it, if you don’t want a solution. , These results may become someone else’s plate lunch."
Confucius said: "It's okay, we have to set Zhengshuo, occupy the righteousness, and then act on the camera."
Confucius knows the status quo of Lu State better than anyone else.
The State of Lu in the Western Zhou Dynasty can be said to be the princely state most valued by the royal family. It is not an exaggeration to call it the head of the princely state.
At this time, although the Zhou Dynasty was weak, the righteousness was still there, and no kingdom dared to speak openly to betray the Zhou Dynasty.
The reason why Lu has not been annihilated in recent years is because Lu was the principality of Zhou Gong's direct descendants of the Great Zhou Dynasty and occupied the righteousness.
The political status of the Lu state comes from the royal family, and the development of the Lu state depends on the rejuvenation of the royal family.
It didn't take long for the State of Lu to put forward the proposal of "Fengzhengshuo respect the Zhou family", to return the power to the Zhou royal family and the power to the Zhou king.
When Confucius Lu called out such a slogan, all the other princes thought that Lu was going crazy: "The Zhou royal family has already faded like this, and they want to go to the royal family. I really don’t know what Lu thinks?" /
For the actions of Confucius in the State of Lu, the influence of the Zhou royal family is limited to Wang Ji, and the Zhou Wang of Luoyang is of course very excited.
The king of Zhou repayed his merits by voting for peaches, and officially affirmed that Confucius became Lu Guo Gong. This made Confucius' violation of the conventional succession of Guo Gong legal, and his status in Lu was no longer doubtful.
The king of Zhou also wanted to rejuvenate, but he had no army in his hands and no response from the princes. He has become a real "lonely man", and Lu Guo has become his life-saving straw.
Confucius is a man who believes in his words~IndoMTL.com~ not only verbally, but also carrying out conquests against countries that do not respect the royal family.
For example, Zheng Guo, who is closest to the Zhou royal family, does not respect the royal family. Under Zhou Wang's order, Confucius led the Lu army directly to Zheng Guo to fight Zheng Guo to the death.
The Kingdom of Lu and the Kingdom of Zheng were separated by the Kingdom of Song. Confucius occupied the righteousness in the name of respecting the Zhou room and attacking the Kingdom of Zheng. The State of Song could not prevent the Lu army from passing.
At this time, the army of the Lu Kingdom was already extremely powerful. It soon defeated the Kingdom of Zheng, and the Lord Zheng was at the disposal of the King of Zhou, only asking for the establishment of Confucianism in the Kingdom of Zheng and spreading Confucianism.
The State of Lu also reached an agreement with the Zhou royal family that in the Zhou dynasty, the State of Lu allowed the establishment of Confucianism and the spread of Confucianism should not be prohibited.
Confucius gave Zhou Wang a country, Zheng Guo, for free, and Zhou Wang naturally agreed to his request.
Therefore, when the Confucian squad soldiers returned to Lu and passed through Weiguo, they asked for the spread of Confucianism in Wei.
Now Confucianism has become the foundation of the state of Lu, and Confucianism has become the equivalent of the state religion of Lu.
Let the Confucianism of Lu Guojiao spread in Weiguo. This involves sovereignty issues, and Weiguo can agree.
Duke Weiguo rejected the State of Lu. Of course, Confucius would not be polite. He said angrily: "You did not comply with the state policy that the king of Zhou had already promised. If you violated the Zhou ritual, you should be blamed."
In this way, Weiguo was annihilated by Lu, and Confucianism began to be established in Weiguo to spread Confucianism.
A disciple I asked Confucius: "Sir, why do we only need to establish Confucianism and spread Confucianism? The royal family is declining and it is incurable. If Zheng Guo and Wei Guo can be brought under their own hands, it will be more important. Is it beneficial to our development?"
Confucius watched Zi and said something with a smile, which made Zi, me and other disciples think deeply, which in turn affected the pattern of Nangan Buzhou.
