We could invite the King of Lu and Kong Qiu

to meet at our border

Kong Qiu is a man of literature and not

familiar with military affairs!

He knows about Ethics, not bravery!

During the ceremony, we'll take the King of Lu

as hostage

then we could discuss how the ruler end

take charge of the ceremony
