Chapter 115: The Battle of Lu and Song Lang (2)

The royal Rong of Lu Zhuang Gong is the county father, and the right side of the car is Bu Guo. The county father shouted: "He is undefeated every day, and he is defeated today, all because I am not brave enough!" ”

Lu Zhuanggong responded: "It's because the widow didn't divinate before the war, it's not that you don't have the courage!" The county father said: "Today, there will be a battle between divination and non-fortune!" With that, he drew his sword and roared, and rushed towards the enemy, killing him.

Lu Zhuanggong quickly boarded the auxiliary car, he raised his longbow and shouted at the sergeants: "Today we will take out all our courage to fight!" Even if you die in battle, you must bury the invaders on the land of Lu! After saying that, he galloped into the enemy line.

The soldiers were greatly encouraged and amazed, and they followed their monarch closely, and fought with a mortal heart. The Lu army desperately tore a hole, and the Song people were frightened by the opponent's fighting style, and they began to retreat and then turn and flee, and the situation was turned around in a very short time.

Song Min Gong ordered a retreat. Nangong Wan was not afraid of the strong enemy, he pointed his sword at the sky and shouted: "Nangong Clan's disciples are the queen of the palace!" Death to the fugitive! "Lu Zhuanggong is an outstanding archer, he saw Nangong Wan, who was comparing and directing the battle, pulled away the golden servant and shot him under the car with an arrow.

If it weren't for the fact that his left arm was dislocated, his right arm was crushed and fractured by the wheel, and his iliopsoas muscle was trampled by a horse, Sun Sun would have no chance to survive in front of him, let alone capture him alive.

The Lu army attacked the camp of the Song army, and the Chinese people in Qufu City also ran over to help in the battle. They didn't catch up with the most dangerous scenes, but they came when they needed the porter the most, which can be regarded as contributing to the victory, haha.

As soon as the Song army collapsed for several miles, the Lu people plundered the camp on a large scale, and took away everything they could take, and burned the fire that could not be taken away. When the Lu people were cleaning up the battlefield, the envoys of the Song army rushed to ask for permission to collect the victims, and Lu Zhuang Gong granted the other party's request.

At this time, the Qi people dozens of miles away did not know what was happening here, and the Qi people had not received an emergency military report, and the battle was over. Qi Huan Gong said: "Since Heaven has sponsored the Lu Kingdom and made them victorious, we cannot go against the will of God. "The Qi people withdrew their troops early the next morning.

Although Lu Guo once again won a huge victory, Lu Zhuanggong's mood could not be raised at all. He was increasingly concerned about the unpredictability of Qi's future retaliation; Moreover, Gongzi Yan also died in battle, and Lu Zhuanggong personally held a vigil for his uncle and raised his funeral specifications to the level of a secretary.

Lu Zhuanggong regretted that he did not listen to Gongziyan's advice at that time, thinking that it was his cowardice that caused his uncle's death, for which he was sad for a long time.

However, the people of Qi were not as angry and eager to retaliate as Lu Zhuanggong had guessed. The Qi cabinet with Qi Huangong, Guan Yiwu, and Bao Shuya as the core is a rational, calm and practical ruling collective. Duke Qi Huan attributed the victory of the Lu State to the sponsorship of the heavens, so he found a step for himself.

But the state of Qi urgently needed a victory to restore the country's position in the hearts of the princes, so the plan to destroy the state of Tan was on the table. There are many reasons why Tan Guo was destroyed: first, Qi Huan Gong was robbed and humiliated when he fled through Tan State; Second, when Duke Qi Huan ascended the throne, Tan did not send envoys to congratulate him; The main thing is that Tan is in a rather important geographical location.

Jishui was a natural barrier between the western and northern parts of the Qi Kingdom, separating the Northern Yan, Wei and Eastern Zhou from the west. On the east bank of Jishui, there is an important town called "Gong" that guards the ferry; The hometown of Tan is located about 60 miles east of Jinan, and is built on the road that Linzi must pass to Zhen; If the Qi State wanted to keep the enemy to the west of Jishui, it had to control the Qiyi, and if it wanted to control the Qiyi, it had to destroy the Tan State.

Duke Huan of Qi decided to crusade against Tan with the strength of his own country: first, because the strength of Qi was strong enough; secondly, because nothing is more deterrent than the destruction of a nation alone; The third is because he doesn't trust those allies, believing that they always cause trouble for himself at critical moments.

In the winter of October, the Duke of Qi Huan led a large army to surround the Tan State. Tan Zi held a military ceremony in Taimiao, and he said: "Jiang Xiaobai, the new monarch of Qi State, is a coward and asks for food!" He was chased by Qi Xianggong all over the world, and he deceived the throne by pretending to be dead. After he ascended the throne, he not only lost the Battle of Long Spoon, but also did not even dare to rescue his allies in the Battle of Lang! Later, he comforted himself with the excuse of 'Heavenly Zanlu'. He couldn't afford to provoke a big country, thinking that Tan Guo was easy to bully, so he came here again to embarrass people. Let the descendants of the Shaohao clan teach that little tyrant a good lesson, and let the people of Qi know that a small country cannot be bullied! ”

Some of the sergeants immediately cheered at the monarch, but most of them remained ominously silent, and people thought that Tan Zi had gone mad: the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and it was too late for the Tan people to sue for peace or hold on, and now they had to fight a strong enemy, which was simply self-defeating to the Qi people.

Tan Zi pulled the army out of the city, and the Qi army lined up opposite the Tan army. Qi Huan Gong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he looked at the undernumbered and demoralized army, and he said to the sergeants: "Some people ridicule the widows for always using heaven as an excuse to comfort themselves, and that's because they are ignorant. The widow had said before he set out on the expedition that the heavens would definitely favor the Qi country in this battle. Look at the scene in front of you now, has the heavens made Tan Zi crazy? The widow really doesn't want to say anything, this battle is not won, let's put on women's clothes and go home to pick mulberry and weave cloth! ”

The sergeants all laughed, Qi Huan Gong then beat the drum to attack, and Tan Zi also began to beat the drum. The two armies soon collided with each other, and the Tan army resisted for a moment and began to retreat, and then scattered and fled.

Qi Huan Gong was unwilling to do more killing, and did not carry out the pursuit to the end, and Tan Zi also took the opportunity to flee to Ju State. Duke Qi Huan followed the example of Duke Zheng Zhuang who treated Xu Guo back then, turning Tan Guo into a vassal, firstly, to gain a good reputation for himself who was not greedy, and secondly, he had absolute certainty to control that place.

This year, Qi went out three times, once in a fiasco, once in vain, and finally achieved a huge victory before the arrival of the New Year, drawing a successful end to the year.

In this year, a major war also broke out in the Central Plains, and the "combined forces" of Chu and Xi defeated Cai's army and captured Cai Aihou.
