In the northern part of Lu County, hundreds of chariots were rolling by, and the Lu flags were waving in the flying snow.

Seventy thousand Lu troops were dispatched to seize the land and population of Lu while Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin were fighting to the death!

The king of Lu stood on one of the soldiers and stood with his sword.

Cao Gui is already one of the top commanders of Lu. He once helped the weak Lu and defeated the powerful Qi.

The three tiger generals of Lu State, Shulianghe, Di Xumi, and Qin Jinfu, personally drove the military chariots and marched towards Lu County.

"Teacher, our country of Lu has few troops. Even if the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman will probably be unable to defeat the powerful country of Xia."

One of the carriages was served by Confucian disciples, and the Confucian sage Confucius was located inside the carriages.

Confucius' eyes were deep: "The king and the ministers were polite, and the ministers served the king with loyalty. Even if the country of Lu was weak, he should do his best."

The snow was flying, and 70,000 soldiers from Lu rushed in the snow...

According to the estimates of the nobles of Lu, it took two or three days to decide the outcome of the decisive battle between Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, and it is very likely that both sides will suffer losses.

This is the only opportunity in Lu.

"The snow is getting heavier and heavier."

The king of Lu, Cao Gui, looked at the white rivers, mountains and rivers. It was originally just a gloomy sky, and heavy snow fell, which added a little uncertainty to the uneasy atmosphere.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, countries were fighting wars a little more focused on rules, but in the late Spring and Autumn Period, rituals and music were broken, and the style of military generals using troops was emphasized, and no one knew when a war would break out.

"It's getting darker and I'm going to encounter snow again. If you continue to go deeper alone, it's too dangerous. Why not rest near this village for the time being."

"agree."

"agree."

The three most powerful nobles in the Lu State - Qingfu, Shuya and Ji You, followed the army to fight and asked Cao Gui to stop the march.

Cao Gui frowned: "Soldiers are the most important thing. When the main force of the enemy country is not here, you should seize Lu County quickly. Do not hesitate, as hesitation will lead to defeat."

"No. The snowy sky marched, the three armies seized their energy, and the consequences were unimaginable."

The three nobles of Lu countries disagreed with Cao Gui's radical approach and insisted on stopping and waiting for an opportunity.

These three nobles were the brothers of Duke Zhuang of Lu, who held the power of Lu. During the Spring and Autumn Period when the nobles were in power, they had great power. Even Cao Gui, who was the chief general, had to obey their orders.

Cao Gui was furious and said to himself: "The meat eater is despised, and he cannot plan far-reachingly!"

A group of Confucian disciples who followed Confucius to go to war and rested in this village with the Lu army.

"Teacher, the two countries are launching wars, and it is snowing heavily at this time. I wonder what the consequences are?"

Yan Hui, the disciple of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, settled in this nameless village with Confucius, and mentioned military affairs.

Confucius's father was Shulianghe, one of the three tiger generals of Lu, so Confucius went to war as the leader of the general.

Confucius, who was born in a general, was different from many later generations. He was able to travel around the country with literature and martial arts...

Confucius looked at the dim sky and the heavy snow fell, and shook his head: "I am not a military strategist, and it is difficult to predict the results. If you really use military strategist, you still have to look at Cao Gui and others."

The three nobles of Lu State occupied the best wooden houses in the village, expelled the villagers and discussed major events.

"The world today is no longer the world of the Emperor Zhou. The strong live and the weak die. Our Lu State's soldiers are weak, so it may not last long."

"Maybe, it's time for the three of us to consider a way out."

What the military generals of Lu outside did not expect was that Qingfu and Shuya, among the three nobles, were pessimistic about the future of Lu.

They learned that during the Warring States Period, when Lu was finally easily destroyed by Chu, they had no confidence in Lu.

In this world, there are many powerful vassal states in Bilu and Chu.

Liang State was destroyed, Lu State was saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes.

Because they were brothers of Duke Zhuang of Lu, they were nobles, below one person and above ten thousand people.

If Lu State perished, then the three nobles of Lu State might become civilians, and even the three tribes might be destroyed.

Qingfu and Shuya are already considering longer-term things.

Ji You, one of the three nobles of Lu, was furious when he heard the two brothers worry about their personal future: "The winner is not decided, how can you say these despicable words! What's more, if we serve the king and die in the battlefield, how can we be afraid of our personal glory and wealth!"

Qingfu and Shuya were scolded by his brothers, and his face was pale and there was a hint of displeasure at the same time.

Among the three nobles of Lu, Ji You are more upright, while Qingfu and Shuya colluded with each other and rejected Ji You.

At this time, the two were taught a lesson by Ji You, so they were naturally unhappy.

The three of them parted in disagreement, and Ji You finally left.

"Hmph, if you have a chance in the future, you will definitely kill him."

Qingfu and Shuya even had the intention to kill.

Seventy thousand soldiers from Lu State set up camp near the village, and Cao Gui arranged for scouts to patrol.

Nothing happened overnight.

"Did I worry too much?"

Before the rooster crowed, Cao Gui had already stood up and couldn't fall asleep, for fear of something happening on the way.

The lives of 70,000 soldiers from Lu can be controlled by Cao Gui.

If something happens, all the soldiers of the Lu State will be wiped out, and Cao Gui will not be able to escape the blame.

"Make a stove to make a fire, and march immediately after breakfast."

Cao Gui was eager to recover Lu County, but was no longer satisfied with the current progress and urged Lu soldiers to march as soon as possible.

Cao Gui was a rare famous general in Lu State who was proficient in military tactics. He advocated that soldiers were of great speed. The three nobles of Lu State repeatedly delayed the progress of the march, which made Cao Gui very dissatisfied.

It was snowing heavily, and the soldiers of Lu were awakened. When they learned that Cao Gui ordered them to eat as soon as possible, and then marched in the snow, they couldn't help but complain.

"In my opinion, heavy snow fell from the sky. This is God's reminder to us, so that we can rest and regain our energy. The enemy is still fighting at this time and faces cold storms and snow, which will inevitably lead to a loss of troops and generals, and morale will be sluggish. When the wind and snow are over, we will send troops to attack Lu County, and we can decide the outcome in one battle."

"Yes, wait for effort to do it, this is the highest level of military strategy."

Seeing heavy snowfall in the sky and the road was dangerous and obstructed, the three nobles of Lu were unwilling to leave, so they insisted on ordering the 70,000 troops of Lu to continue to rest and propose military tactics to wait for their work.

Cao Gui's face was gloomy.

In his opinion, the three nobles of Lu were simply nonsense.

"Our Lu State is at a disadvantage. Only by surprise can we win. Stagnate here. Once the opponent regroups, our army will be defeated!"

Cao Gui was angry that this was the second time that the three nobles of Lu State stopped him from marching.

"This is the common decision of the three of us. If you wait for your hard work, you will definitely win, and there is no need to doubt it. If you have any objections, Shu Lianghe, Di Xumi, and Qin Jinfu can replace you as the main general."

The three nobles of Lu State are unquestionable.

Cao Gui wanted to have an attack, but he endured it again.

His power was not enough to influence the three nobles of Lu.

The three nobles of Lu State joined forces, and even Duke Zhuang of Lu could not control it, let alone the general Cao Gui.

The three nobles of Lu believed that the freezing army were not suitable for continuing the march, otherwise it would cause unnecessary losses.

Moreover, they believe that their "to wait for labor" military strategy is more suitable for the situation at this time.

"You can decide as you wish."

Cao Gui was too lazy to pay attention to the three nobles of Lu.

Cao Gui could only try to save the lives of 70,000 young and strong people in Lu.

The seventy thousand troops of Lu State stopped here, waiting for the wind and snow to pass, and then waited for the effort to defeat the enemy and recover the territory of Lu State.

"Strange, why didn't the Lu army continue to march? Did they have any conspiracy?"

Zhu Ji, commander of the Jinyiwei, led a small team of Jinyiwei, and had been secretly observing the progress of the Lu army.

As a result, 70,000 soldiers and horses from Lu were blocked by wind and snow and stayed here for a long time.

Zhu Ji knew what happened in later generations. Among them, Li Jue entered Caizhou at night, and Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping and directly took Shu Han. All of them were concerned about surprise victory. For famous generals, they could overcome difficulties regardless of snow or mountains.

However, the 70,000 Lu army, who had the famous general Cao Gui, stayed here for two days.

This forced Zhu Ji to suspect that the military generals of Lu had the means to deal with it, otherwise the progress would not have been so slow.

The opponent is Cao Gui, a famous general who is good at defeating the strong with the weak.

One round of energy will fade and then decay and then exhaust.

Cao Gui won the battle in Changshao.

"Cao Gui won't understand the principle that the soldiers are the most powerful and fast..."

Zhu Ji was puzzled and had to continue to fight wits and courage with the air, guessing Cao Gui's true intention...

On the third day, the wind and snow stopped, and the 70,000 Lu troops finally began to set off their camps and march towards Lu County.

The heavy chariots of Lu State moved slowly in the snow. Because of heavy snow for two consecutive days, the snow blocked them, the Lu army's progress was slow.

Since his departure, Cao Gui's face has been ashen.
