At the critical moment, Handa arrived. The right side of the rook jumped out of the chariot to make room for the horse, and he was soon crushed under the wheels by the rampaging enemy chariot and crushed to pieces.

Yang Hu raised his hand and shot down Handa's Yurong with an arrow, and Handa had to continue to run in place of Yurong. Yang Hu's second arrow pierced Handa's right shoulder, and he bent his bow again, aiming at the squire, and shouted, "Stop now!" Spare you from dying! ”

Just in the middle of the lightning, the son of the sir, Sihiro, galloped from the side. An arrow hit Yang Hu's right arm, but Yang Hu's tight arm didn't give up, and he turned around and shot an arrow of revenge at Shi Hong. The right hand of the car knocked him down, but he was wounded by an arrow.

Yang Hu pulled out a sharp arrow, and his arm suddenly bled profusely. He had to stop and tie his wound tightly to prevent himself from bleeding to death. Handa took the opportunity to flee, and the sirling got a respite and immediately ordered the shrinking of his forces.

Yang Hu saw that the enemy was gathering more and more densely, so he gave up chasing and killing the enemy's main general. He then ordered an attack from both sides, and the Zheng army was irretrievably defeated and began to flee, and the Lu army pursued until it was completely dark.

The remnants of the defeated army were gathered, and the sergeants spent a night of horror with their weapons in hand.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Jun got up early to cook, ready to finish eating and continue to chase, Zheng Jun saw this and began to run away again. At noon that day, Zheng Jun came to the outskirts of Kuangyi, but found that the city was full of Lu troops, and the city walls were full of Lu flags. It turned out that Meng Yizi took advantage of the exhaustion of Zheng's army and the emptiness in the city to occupy the city.

The Zheng army had to bypass the enemy and continue to flee, and Meng Yizi chased after him for a while and captured many Zheng people.

Kuangyi fell in this way, the Lu army won a complete victory, and everyone was angry; Zheng Guoren has since suffered from "impotophobia". The Lu army repaired for a day, and then returned home with the booty. Yang Hu did not feel relaxed, he was afraid that Zheng Jun would raid the rear team, so he personally led the elite soldiers to break the rear. As Yang Hu expected, the sergeants could see enemy scouts spying on the movements of the Lu army everywhere during the withdrawal process.

In the process of withdrawing troops, the Lu army entered the border without borrowing from the defense of the country, which was tantamount to aggression. Wei Linggong was furious and immediately sent the doctor Mi Zibian (his status is equivalent to that of Liang Qiu of the Qi State) to lead his troops to chase the Lu army. However, Uncle Wenzi advised him not to pursue, he first reviewed the history of the brotherly affection between Zhou Gong and Wei Kangshu and the traditional friendship between the two countries, and then talked about a set of great truths that the two countries should strengthen friendly relations, and Wei Linggong revoked the order.

When the Lu army entered Qufu, it was greeted like a hero - the state of Lu had long been oppressed by Qi, Jin, and Chu in turn, and now it was finally in full swing!

A few days later, Ji Huanzi was "approved" by Yang Hu and led a team to the Jin Kingdom to sacrifice prisoners. Yang Yue said to his elder brother, "It is customary to give gifts to the suzerainty after victory, but it is not enough for my brother to do this. In order to gain the support of the Jin people, I suggested that my brother 'invite' Zhongsun He Ji to sacrifice a prisoner to Lady Qing (the mother of the Duke of Jin) in the name of Xiaojun. The Marquis of Jin was young, and the major affairs of the country were decided by Mrs. Qing; Moreover, Mrs. Qing has a 'very close past' with Shi Ying. If there is Mrs. Qing as a backing, will my brother still have worries in Lu State? ”

Yang Hu even said "very good", and immediately sent Yang Yue to see Meng Yizi. As a result, as soon as Ji Huanzi arrived in the Jin Kingdom, Meng Yizi came one after another.

On the eve of the "anti-Jin in the world" was a foregone conclusion, the wind and rain, and the war was about to break out, the people of the Lu State were able to express their "loyalty" to the Jin State with such a high standard, which really surprised and excited the Jin people.

However, Lu Guo's behavior was nothing more than subservience to Yang Hu's personal will. Therefore, although the Jin people received the two distinguished guests with extremely high standards, and the monarchs and doctors also praised the two of them to the fullest, the faces of the two were still densely covered with heavy gloom.

At the welcome banquet, Meng Yizi felt as if the people of the Jin Kingdom had mixed the wine with bone meal that pierced their throats, and every sip of wine that violently stimulated the digestive tract when swallowed. Meng Yizi was depressed and had a painful expression, but he had to squeeze out a smiling face and change the cup with the Jin people. He turned his head to look at Ji Huanzi and found that Ji Huanzi's expression was not much better than his own.

After the banquet, Meng Yizi didn't want to stay for a moment. He hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, and Shi Ying and Zhao Ying accompanied Ji Huanzi behind him.

Meng Yizi saw Shi Yan walking in front of him, so he said to him with the strength of wine: "If Yang Hu can't accommodate himself in the Lu State and defects to the Jin State, the master can't make him the Sima of the Chinese Army, so let the first monarch lower the punishment!" ”

Confused, Shi Ying replied, "Master, what do you mean by this?" Only the widow has the right to appoint officials at all levels, where do I have the right to decide? ”

Meng Xianzi continued: "Everything is only judged by the master! ”

Meng Xianzi and Ji Huanzi boarded the Xuan car and left. Shi Ying turned his head to Zhao Ying and said, "Yang Hu has become a public nuisance in the Lu Kingdom!" Meng Sun's words were really incoherent; I don't know if Yang Hu asked him to relay it, or if he wanted to convey some message through the strength of wine? Anyway, Yang Hu will soon launch a rebellion, and he will definitely flee to the Jin Kingdom. ”

Zhao Ying said: "Ji Sun is incompetent, and he can't even control a retainer. If Yang Hu comes to the Jin Kingdom, I can clean him up and obey him. ”

After Ji Huanzi returned to China, Yang Hu became more arrogant and domineering: when he traveled, the number of Xuan cars and guards had surpassed that of his master; He set up the Ji family's dynasty in his own home, and the Ji family's retainers had to change their offices to his house every day; After he made a decision, he only sent someone to notify Ji Huanzi to implement it, and Ji Huanzi could only obediently take the decision to the court to announce it, and he didn't even dare to say the word "no".

Yang Hu has become the de facto controller of the Lu State, but he has never been crazy enough to dare to enter the court to listen to the government - he is afraid of being beaten to death by the doctors as a rebellious minister and thief.

Once, Meng Yizi came to see Yanghu and said: "The master has real power but no name, and he can't stand above the court." I am going to intercede with the prince and ask him to grant the master the title of secretary, what does the master think? ”

Yang Hu was in ecstasy (which was exactly what he dreamed of), but on the surface he was silent. He thanked Meng Yizi and turned around to tell Yang Yue the news. Yang Yue is different from Yang Hu, he is a man who is known for his rationality and resourcefulness in the Lu State. "I don't think it's appropriate," he said. The power of the elder brother comes from Ji Sun, and once he is given the position of secretary, he naturally has to resign from the position of Ji Sun's retainer. Without Ji Sun, my brother will have nothing left except a tiger skin. This must be a trick set up by Sanhuan, Sanhuan has a different heart. It's time to get rid of them! ”

Yang Hu suddenly realized, he thought for a moment and said: "Removing Sanhuan is inevitable, but it is not an overnight thing, and our strength is still far from it." So the next step is to win over and train our henchmen. I'm going to recommend some new people to become doctors, so that even though I'm not in the court, it's enough to have them. ”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered someone, so he said to himself: "It is really a waste of such a big tree that attracts the wind not to be used by me." ”

The "big tree" that Yang Hu said was Confucius.
