Eat melon shift

The Duke of Qi was afraid that King Zhou Zhuang would come to fight him, so he asked Dafu Lian to be the general and Guan Zhifu to be the vice-general, and led his troops to guard Kwai Qiu. The two generals begged the Duke of Qi Xiang on their way out, saying, "This is a hard assignment, and we dare not put it off, so I beg you to give a deadline." At that moment, Qi Xiang was eating a melon, biting into it one by one, and before he finished chewing, he took another big bite. They watched him eating the melon with his mouth open and closed, but he ignored them and said, "It's not that we can't stand hardship, soldiers have families too." The Duke of Qi took another melon and weighed it in his hand, as if he wanted to know how heavy it was, and as if he was thinking of how to answer their words. Suddenly he nodded his head and said, "All right! I'll ask someone to pick up the defense next year when we eat the melon." They were satisfied, wiped the sweat from their heads, and went away.

A year passed. One day, as they were eating the melons, they remembered that the deadline had expired, but why hadn't the king sent someone to take over? The first thing you need to do is to get the melons from here. So they asked someone to go to Linzi to inquire about it. The man came back and said, "The Lord is not in the capital. He went with Wen Jiang to go shopping. He said he had not been back for a month!" Lian said, "This faint-hearted ruler! He had married my uncle's sister, and now he has that vixen, and he has thrown my sister away too. I say, let's just go in and kill him!" Father Guan Zhi said: "Come on, maybe he forgot. Let's go and hurry him up first." They sent a soldier to deliver some melons, and asked him when his shift would be over. When the Duke of Qi returned, he saw that they had sent melons, which was a clear scolding. He lost his temper, picked up a melon, and smashed it against the soldier's head. "The melon's flesh and seeds were all over his face, and the water flowed from his brain to the tip of his nose and from the tip of his nose to his lips, causing the soldier to lick it or not. The Duke of Qi scolded him and said, "Do what I tell you to do! Go back and tell them that we will talk about it when we eat melons in the New Year! What's the hurry?"The man went back to say so. Even called and Guan to father almost exploded in anger, straight cursing. The native soldiers, too, are looking forward to going home. It is easy to survive a year, to the day. I can't wait to go back to see my family. I never thought it would take another year. Who does not hate it? They got together and asked the two generals to give them a decision. Lian said he wanted to send troops. Guan Zhifu stopped, saying: "This is not a joke, to do something big also needs to have a name. Besides, we can't beat him with this amount of troops. It is better to have a contact inside to attack." Lian said: "With whom to contact na?" Guan Zhifu lowered his mind and said, "There is one person. The late ruler originally liked Gongsun Wu Zhi, didn't he? Later, when his son took the throne, he did not get along with him and had his salary reduced. He hated it so much. He always wants to do something, but a slap on the wrist does not ring a bell, do not dare to turn against Zhu's son. In my opinion, we should contact him and agree to make him the king. Now we have a name and an inside man." Lian said, "Right! Let's do that. My sister in the palace also hates this dim-witted ruler. Let's ask Gongsun Wu Zhi to discuss this with her. If we do it in three steps, things will be easier."
