Chapter 27 false peace talks

In March 580 BC, Duke Cheng of Lu returned to Qufu in disgrace, accompanied by Que Ji, the envoy of Duke Li of Jin.The two sides met in Qufu and re-signed the alliance treaty. It is necessary to introduce the Que family of Jin. The Que family was originally a member of the Jin government, surnamed Ji.In the reign of Duke Xiangong of Jin Dynasty, a senior official named "Leopard" began to emerge. He was highly valued by Duke Xiangong of Jin Dynasty, and was given the land of Que, thus establishing the Que clan. During the Liji Rebellion, Quebao's son Querui fled with his son Yiwu, and helped him return to the country to ascend the throne, and became an important minister in the reign of Duke Hui and Duke Huai of Jin.Later Jin Wengong returned to China, but Rui Rui was unwilling to fail, and together with Lu nephew set fire to the palace, intending to burn Jin Wengong to death, but the matter was revealed, and Que Rui was killed, and the Que family became the sinners of Jin.

Qi Rui's son, Que Que, continues to live in his father's old fief, Yicheng, but his status has changed from a nobleman to a farmer.One winter, Xuchen Jiuji, a minister of Duke Wen of Jin, passed through Yicheng, and found a farmer with unusual behavior in the field. After asking, he found out that it was Querui's son who was missing, so he recommended him to Duke Wen of Jin as the Under the army doctor. However, he lacked all-round talents in civil and military affairs, was cautious, diligent in doing things, and became a bigger and bigger official. In the Jin Chenggong era, he succeeded Zhao Dun and became the marshal of the Chinese army and became the chief executive officer of the Jin Kingdom.His son Queke was no ordinary person either. He served as the deputy commander of the upper army in the Battle of Bi, and later succeeded Shihui as the marshal of the Chinese army. Ba Ye made illustrious military exploits.

After Queke's death, his son, Queqi, inherited the family business and became the patriarch of the Que family. He was also called Jubo because he was confiscated as Judi. The grandfather of Yihe Qieqi, Qierui, is a brother, and in history he was also known as Kucheng's uncle; there is another Quezhi, who is the nephew of Qiji, who was honored by people at that time as warm season.In 583 B.C., the disaster of going down to the palace severely damaged the vitality of the Zhao family. Zhao Shuo, Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Tong were all killed. The Que family took the opportunity to fill the vacancy. Que Qi, Que Ji, and Que Zhi all held important positions. It is called "Three Ques" in history.

When Que Ji came to the State of Lu, in addition to forming an alliance with the State of Lu on behalf of the State of Jin, he also had a personal mission, which was to propose marriage to the doctor of the State of Lu, Gongsun Yingqi. Gongsun Yingqi's father is Lu Xuangong's brother and son.When his mother married the son Shu Xi (xi), there was no matchmaking ceremony.According to the regulations of Zhou Rites, "If you are engaged, you will be a wife, if you are not engaged, you will be a concubine." If a woman gets married without a matchmaking ceremony, she can only be counted as a concubine.Because of this relationship, Lu Xuangong's wife Mu Jiang looked down on her very much and said, "I don't want to be a concubine." Guan Yuxi, a doctor of Qi State.

This woman gave birth to another son and a daughter in Qi State.Later, when Guan Yuxi died, the people of Qi State sent her back to Lu State to be raised by Gongsun Yingqi.Gongsun Yingqi was a kind person and took good care of the two children brought back by his mother. Among them, the boy served as the doctor of Lu State, while the girl married the doctor Shi Xiaoshu and became Mrs. Shi. I don't know why, but Que Ji has a special liking for this Mrs. Shi, and proposes to marry her back as his wife.The state of Jin is so powerful that even Duke Cheng of Lu is subservient to Queji, how could Gongsun Yingqi dare to offend him?So he went to discuss with his brother-in-law Shi Xiaoshu, asking him to give up his wife to Que Ji.

Uncle Shi Xiao was at a loss when he heard Gongsun Yingqi's words.He thought, what kind of business is this?A foreigner came to the state of Lu and wanted to take away his wife if he liked it. If he liked the wife of the monarch, should he agree to it?However, these words are useless. For the benefit of the country and the survival of the family, he can only agree to Gongsun Yingqi's request.On the contrary, Mrs. Shi refused to do so, she said to Uncle Shi Xiao: "Birds and beasts don't abandon their partners, how can you do that!" Uncle Shi Xiao said very helplessly: "I have no choice but to do this! If we don't agree to the request of the Jin people, and the king blames us, our whole family will only die, and there is no talk of abandoning it."

When Shi Xiaoshu talked about this, Mrs. Shi had nothing to say.The couple hugged each other and cried, and said goodbye with tears. When Mrs. Shi arrived in the state of Jin, she gave birth to two sons for Queji.Her fate was strikingly similar to that of her mother, but far more unfortunate than that of her mother.Six years later, the Que family perished, and Que Ji was killed, and she was sent back to Lu by the people of Jin.Shi Xiaoshu personally ran to the Yellow River to meet her, but in front of her, he threw Queji's two sons into the Yellow River and drowned.Mrs. Shi's heart was broken, and she said to Uncle Shi Xiaoshu: "You can't protect your wife and hand her over to others, and now you can't treat other people's orphans with kindness and kill them. How can such a person have good results?" I swear to God that I will never return to Shi's house - of course, this is something to be said later.

Compared to Queji's love, Quezhi's arrogance is not far behind.According to "Zuo Zhuan" records, in the autumn of 580 BC, there was a dispute between Quezhi and the Zhou royal family over the ownership of the place (place name) in Wencheng.At that time, the emperor Zhou Jian sent royal ministers Liu Kanggong and Shan Xianggong to Xintian to ask Jin Ligong to uphold justice.Facing the envoys sent by the monarch and the emperor, Quezhi's attitude was still very domineering, and he made it clear: "Wencheng is the old land granted to the Que family by the previous monarch. How can I hand it over to others?"

Liu Kanggong still argued with reason, and said: "Look at what you said. When the Zhou Dynasty eliminated the Shang Dynasty, it divided the land of the world to the princes, and granted the city of Wencheng and the surrounding fields to Su Waisheng, the Sikou. During the reign of King Xiang of Zhou, the Su family Later generations betrayed the royal family, so King Xiang rewarded Wencheng to Duke Wen of Jin. Duke Wen of Jin rewarded it to ministers with meritorious service, first to Hu Qin, and then to Yang Chufu. Because the Fox family and the Yang family It was the Que family's turn after they perished successively. What are you talking about now, the old land of the Que family, that was originally the land of the royal family!"

Duke Li of Jin listened on the sidelines, and thought to himself that he would go on muttering. According to this logic, "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king?" Is there any piece of land that was not originally owned by the royal family?Quickly interrupted Liu Kanggong's words, and said to Quezhi: "What he said makes sense, I will be the master, you give way, don't compete with the emperor for property, how about it?" But he said embarrassingly: "You have said that, how dare I not follow?" Then he reluctantly gave up the land to the emperor.

The prosperous era of the Que family was also the era of brief peace between Jin and Chu.As mentioned earlier, since 582 BC when Prince Chen, the king of the Communist Party of Chu, visited the state of Jin, the relationship between the two countries has gradually eased, and the exchanges between the two sides have continued. It seems that the gap between the two countries must be filled. What is needed now is a man who is the first to swing the shovel. A native of the Song Dynasty—Hua Yuan took the initiative to undertake this task.This man who was once a prisoner of Zheng Guo because he was betrayed by a coachman, who was once ridiculed by migrant workers as a "bragger" and was not angry, who once broke into the prince's camp alone and forced him to sign a peace agreement with a knife, is At that time, he was internationally recognized as a good old man with excellent popularity.He maintained a good personal relationship with Prince Yingqi, a powerful figure in Chu State, and Luan Shu, the current Chinese Army Marshal of Jin State.After hearing the news that the Jin State sent an envoy to the Chu State and succeeded, Hua Yuan felt that this was the best chance for the Central Plains countries to get out of the cracks and survive.After consulting Song Gonggong, he first came to Chu State, and then went to Jin State. Using his own network resources, he used needles and threads between the two countries, and formally facilitated the peace negotiations between the two countries in 579 BC.In May of this year, the State of Jin sent Shi Xie as a representative to hold an alliance with Prince Ba and Xu Yan of the State of Chu outside the west gate of Shangqiu, the capital of the State of Song. "From now on, the Jin and Chu countries will no longer meet each other with swords, stick to the same values, and jointly rescue the crisis and famine. If there is anyone who is unfavorable to the Chu State, the Jin State will attack him; similarly, if anyone is against the Jin State If the country is disadvantaged, the Chu State should also attack him. Between the two countries, envoys communicate, and the road is smooth. For those who do not obey the leaders of the two countries, find a way to make them obey; It submits. If you violate this oath, please ask the gods to punish you, make your army defeated, and you will not be able to enjoy the country." Since the Battle of Chengpu, the struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu has become the theme of international politics. Almost all the vassal states have been involved in the war and diplomatic game between Jin and Chu to varying degrees. Regional production has also been greatly affected.Therefore, the Song Zhimeng had a huge international influence at that time.Zheng Chenggong immediately went to Jin State, and listened to Jin Ligong's talk about the content of the covenant in a high-profile but low-profile manner, expressing that he would make due contributions to international peace under the leadership of Jin and Chu. Not long before Jin and Chu shook hands and made peace, Jin's old enemy, Qin, also extended an olive branch to Jin.In the autumn of 580 BC, the monarchs of Qin and Jin met in Linghu (the place name of Jin) to hold an alliance.Duke Li of Jin arrived at the meeting place first, but Duke Huan of Qin changed his mind temporarily and refused to cross the Yellow River to meet Duke Li of Jin. He stationed his troops in Wangcheng (place name) and sent his doctor Shi Ke to meet Duke Li of Jin in Linghu. oath ceremony.The state of Jin sent Que Ji to Wangcheng to meet Duke Huan of Qin, and also held an oath ceremony.Since ancient times, I am afraid that there has been no such strange alliance.Shi Xie commented on this: "What is the significance of such an oath? The ancients made an oath by fasting first to show grandeur and trustworthiness. Meeting at the agreed place is the starting point of mutual trust. If there is no trust at the beginning, And who will stick to the covenant?" After Qin Huan returned, he really threw this covenant to Java, and the relationship between the two countries fell into a trough again. In fact, the significance of the Song Alliance to Jin and Chu is also very limited.In the autumn of 579 BC, Duke Li of Jin sent Quezhi to visit Chu State.The King of the Communist Party of Chu held a grand luncheon in honor of him, and sent his son-in-law to be the best man.But according to the etiquette at that time, he entered the room from the west steps. As soon as he walked in, he suddenly heard the drums playing, and looked around, but he didn't see the shadow of the band.The music was dignified and vigorous, but he stopped and listened carefully, and found that it was actually the music of "Si Xia" used to entertain the monarch. The so-called Si Xia was originally the music played by the emperor when he entertained the princes.In the Spring and Autumn Period, when the feudal lords met each other, they also leapfrogged to use the joy of Sixia, but there was no precedent for entertaining high officials.In order to show his importance to Quezhi, or to show off, the King of the Communist Party of Chu deliberately set up a new trick-arranged a band in the basement of the main hall, and asked them to play the music of summer during meals. But the more he heard the more something was wrong, he turned around and walked out.The young master hurriedly grabbed him and said: "It's getting late, the widow has been waiting for a long time, please take your seat!" But he hurriedly postponed it, saying: "The King of Chu does not forget the kindness of the former king, and benefits his subordinates, treats me with such a great gift, and entertains me with the joy of the summer. If God favors, the two kings will meet each other." Is there any more noble music to accompany it? How dare I go in!" This is right. The Chinese people have been paying attention to political treatment since ancient times. What level of cadres enjoy the treatment of what level, and they must not leapfrog . The young master was very disapproving: "If God favors you, if the two monarchs meet each other, it will be nothing more than entertaining each other with an arrow. How can there be any music? The widow can't wait, you'd better take a seat!" The implication is that if the two monarchs meet, they will be on the battlefield. It is irresponsible for the son to say such things in the diplomatic field, but it is indeed a true portrayal of the relationship between Jin and Chu at that time-on the surface they greet each other with smiles, but in fact they hide weapons.Quezhi's political sensitivity is obviously much higher than that of the son. He said solemnly: "If you entertain each other with an arrow, it will be a catastrophe for the two countries. Where is God's favor? The princes serve the emperor. , then visit each other, so there are gifts and banquets. Although there are wine and food in the ceremony, they do not eat or drink, to show respect and diligence; , so governing is also the means that the princes use to protect their own people. As the poem says, "Correct the warrior, the prince will dry the city." In troubled times, the princes are greedy, and their desires are hard to fill. The land drives the people to die, and regards the warrior as his confidant, arm, and minion. Therefore, the poem also says, "Joy to the warrior, the prince's heart". There is a way in the world, and the princes will protect the people and restrain their confidants. When the world is in chaos, everything will be reversed. I heard what you said today, and I think it is the way of troubled times, and I can’t follow it.” But when he said this, he changed the subject, “But, you are the host, and I am the guest , the guests do as they please, how dare I disobey orders?" So he entered the table and sat down. When he returned to the state of Jin, he told Shi Xie about it.Shi Xie let out a long sigh and said, "You're rude, what you say won't count. I'm waiting for the warrior to go to the battlefield to seek death soon." Having said that, Jin and Chu have at least maintained a superficial peace.In the winter of the same year, the king of the Communist Party of Chu sent his son Ba to return to the state of Jin, and held a meeting with Duke Li of Jin in Chiji (the place name of the state of Jin). The two countries of Jin and Chu have achieved superficial peace, but Duke Li of Jin did not put his swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horse was released on Nanshan.In the spring of 578 BC, in order to eliminate the threat of Qin, he planned a war and called on the princes to send troops to attack Qin under the banner of the royal family. Que Qi was ordered to go on an envoy to the State of Lu and urged the State of Lu to support him.However, the patriarch of the Que family is far less mature than Quezhi, and his performance on diplomatic occasions can be described as "not serious". Zhongsun Mie, one of the "Three Huans", saw Queqi's foolishness, and said to the people around him: "The Que family may perish! Li is like the backbone of a person; respect is like the foundation of a person. Queqi As a minister of the state of Jin, he was ordered by the king to come to the state of Lu to ask for support. He should have put the country first, but he showed a lazy attitude. This is not taking the order of the king seriously, how can he not perish?" But Qi Qi didn't take his own king's order seriously, but Lu Chenggong didn't dare not take Jin Ligong's order seriously.In March of the same year, he and the monarchs of Qi, Song, Wei, Zheng, Cao, Zhu, and Teng, under the leadership of Duke Li of Jin, came to the royal city Luoyi to meet King Jian of Zhou and asked King Jian of Zhou to send troops to crusade against Qin. King Jian of Zhou didn't have any soldiers, only one sign.At the request of Jin Ligong, he sent Liu Kanggong and Chengsu Gong to join the coalition of princes under the banner of the emperor to crusade against Qin.In order to show grandeur, and more importantly, to satisfy Duke Li of Jin, the royal family held a military dispatch ceremony in the temple in a grand manner. Cheng Sugong thought to himself, there is nothing funnier than this in the world. It is obviously just for show, but he wants to do it so solemnly, as if he can really lead the group.Thinking in his heart, it is inevitable to express it outside. When King Jian of Zhou gave him the meat for sacrifices according to the usual practice, he couldn't help laughing.This move was severely criticized by Liu Kanggong. He shook his head and said: "Heaven and earth have a neutral atmosphere, and people are born with it. This is the so-called destiny. Laws such as behavior, etiquette, and dignity are used to stabilize the destiny." A capable person obeys the law and can raise blessings; an incompetent person breaks the law and brings disaster. You have given up the destiny by acting like this now!" Cheng Su Gong blinked and didn't take this seriously. In April of the same year, Duke Li of Jin sent Wei Xiang, a senior official, to the state of Qin to send a letter of resignation to Duke Huan of Qin.Contrary to the concise style of writing at that time, this letter first reviewed the history of the Qin and Jin countries from "Qin and Jin" to their enemies since Jin Xiangong and Qin Mugong (of course, the responsibility lies with Qin, and Jin is always innocent. ), and then criticized Duke Huan of Qin for not keeping his promise in the Linghu League two years ago, for refusing to cross the Yellow River to form an alliance, and after returning, he secretly colluded with the Chu State and the Bai Di people to oppose the Jin State. "The widow hates this capricious behavior very much," wrote Duke Li of Jin, "so the widow had to make this matter known to the world, in order to punish those who do not do what they say. The princes heard what you did, They all feel heartbroken, so they get close to the widow. Now the widow leads the army of the princes to come here just for peace and friendship. If you have kindness, care for the princes, pity the widow, and form an alliance with us, it will coincide with the wish of the widow. The widow also I will immediately appease the princes and withdraw the troops; if you don’t show favors, you will not be able to persuade the princes to retreat. I will tell you these words openly and honestly, please weigh the interests.” This is also a typical hooligan logic - you obviously brought a group of brothers to fight, but you said that you don't want to cause trouble, you just want to calm things down, but the brothers are very angry at your behavior, so you don't agree! Of course, Duke Huan of Qin would not give in easily, and he also used Qin's soldiers to resist the invasion. The two sides fought in Matun (the place name of Qin). Before the Battle of Ma Tunnel, the State of Jin carried out military reforms again, reducing the six armies to four armies, namely the middle army, the upper army, the lower army and the new army.This is naturally done to take into account the face of the royal family.After all, according to the regulations of Zhou Li, only the emperor can have the six armies.Since Duke Li of Jin came to crusade against Qin under the banner of the Son of Heaven, it would be wrong for him to blatantly violate the etiquette of the Son of Heaven. The Sixth Army became the Fourth Army, and the original twelve ministers of the state of Jin also became eight ministers accordingly, namely: Luan Shu, Marshal of the Chinese Army, Xun Geng, Deputy Marshal of the Chinese Army; Shi Xie, Marshal of the Upper Army, Que Kai, Deputy Marshal of the Upper Army; Marshal Han Jue, and Xun Fu, the deputy commander of the lower army; Zhao Zhan, the new army marshal, and the deputy commander of the new army, but arrived.In addition, Que Zhi's younger brother, Que Yi, served as the driver of Jin Li's army chariot, and Luan Shu's son, Luan Zhen, served as the right guard of the army.The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, the children of these aristocratic families in the Jin army at that time were not ordinary people.Zhongsun Mie of the State of Lu saw the formation of the Jin army and sighed sincerely: "The Jin army is united as one, and this battle will surely be won." As a result of the war, the coalition forces of the princes led by the state of Jin won a complete victory, and captured the Qin general Chengcha and Qin Huangong's Rongyou guard daughter.The coalition forces crossed the Jing River and fought until Houli (a city in the state of Qin) before coming to an end. The Battle of Matun in 578 BC was the first battle after Duke Li of Jin came to power.The victory of the war shows that Jin has maintained a strong advantage in both military and diplomatic aspects.However, the victory was only for the Jin State, and the other princes who followed Duke Li of Jin did not benefit from it. Some paid a heavy price, and some caused domestic political turmoil due to the war. First, Duke Chengsu, who represented the emperor in the expedition, was injured by an arrow, and died on the way back to his teacher due to his serious injuries. Second, Cao Xuangong, the monarch of Cao State, was killed in battle.Because the eldest son was still young, the Cao people elected his concubine, the son, to preside over the state affairs, and sent another concubine, Xinshi, to meet Cao Xuangong's body.Unexpectedly, after a few days in power, the young master became evil, killed the eldest son, and established himself as the king, which is the Duke Cao Cheng in history.At that time, the allied forces of the princes had not yet disbanded, and everyone was indignant at the young master's behavior, and asked Duke Li of Jin to attack him one after another.Duke Li of Jin believed that the battle of Matun had achieved the expected results, and he was unwilling to cause extra problems. He said: "We just fought a fierce battle with the people of Qin. Everyone has worked hard. Please go back to the country first, and it will not be too late to settle accounts with him next year." After Cao Xuangong was buried, son Xinshi was unwilling to be with Cao Chenggong and planned to flee to another country.The people of the state of Cao did not support Cao Chenggong, and many people expressed that they would flee with the young master Xinshi.Cao Chenggong saw that the situation was not good, so he went to the son Xinshi's mansion to plead guilty and begged him to stay.Although the son Xinshi agreed to Cao Chenggong's request, he returned his fief to the public office to show that he would not join forces with Cao Chenggong. Two years later, in the spring of 576 B.C., Duke Li of Jin met the princes in Qidi, attacked Duke Cao Cheng, and took him to Luoyi to be judged by the emperor.The princes all wanted to appoint the son Xinshi as the king of Wei, but the son Xinshi refused, saying: "The predecessors said that the highest state of morality is to be able to go up or down, and they are all in line with morals; the second is to observe morality; the lowest is to lose morals. To be a king It's not my wish, and although I can't be a sage, I can't lose my integrity!" So he fled to Song State. Third, a court incident also occurred in Zheng Guo. As mentioned earlier, in 581 BC, when Zheng Chenggong was imprisoned in the state of Jin, Zheng Guo’s son-in-law class took the initiative and made Zheng Chenggong’s half-brother son Xuan the king.Only one month later, Prince Su was kicked out by Zheng Guoren, and Prince Ban fled to Xu State alone. During the Battle of Ma Tunnel, Duke Zheng Cheng followed Duke Li of Jin to the Qin State, and Prince Ban took the opportunity to sneak back to the State of Zheng in an attempt to launch a coup and seize the throne.The conspiracy was thwarted by the doctor's son 騑 (fei), and Gongzi Ban, his younger brother Gongzi (pang) and others were killed. In the second year of the Battle of Matun, in the spring of 577 BC, Duke Wei Ding came to Xintian to pay homage to Duke Li of Jin.After the business talk, Duke Li of Jin said to Duke Ding of Wei, "I'll let you meet someone." Without Duke Ding Wei's consent, Duke Li of Jin clapped his hands, and a middle-aged man walked out from behind the curtain, and knelt down to Duke Ding Wei. Down. When Wei Dinggong saw this person, his face turned black on the spot.It turned out that this man was called Father Sun Lin, the son of Sun Liangfu.Seven years ago, Sun Lin's father fled to the state of Jin because he offended Duke Wei Ding, and he has been living in the state of Jin.Now Duke Li of Jin called Father Sun Lin out to see Duke Wei Ding, his intention was very obvious: he hoped that Duke Ding of Wei would ignore the past and bring Father Sun Lin back to the state of Wei. Historical data does not record what kind of festival Sun Linfu had with Wei Dinggong, but it is clear that Wei Dinggong did not generally hate Sun Linfu. Even with Jin Ligong's mediation, he still did not agree to allow Sun Linfu to return to the country.Duke Li of Jin was annoyed. After Duke Wei Ding returned to the country, he sent Que Ji to send Father Sun Lin back to the country of Wei, forcing Duke Wei Ding to accept him. When the matter developed to this point, Wei Dinggong still just wanted to refuse, but his wife Ding Jiang Shixiang tugged at his sleeve and said, "Don't be tough anymore, no matter what, Father Sun Lin is also a descendant of a meritorious clan minister. There is also a big country backing him, if you don’t agree, the country will perish. Don’t you hate him more than the country’s demise?” Hearing this, Duke Wei Ding had already turned a corner in his heart. Ding Jiang hit the iron while it was hot, and said: "Stable the country, treat the clan ministers leniently, there is nothing wrong with it!" So, Wei Dinggong thought it through thoroughly, and said to Queji: "I am willing to obey the orders of the Jinjun." Return the fief to him. According to "Zuo Zhuan", Queji's visit to Weiguo this time left a rather bad impression on the people of Weiguo, mainly because of his arrogant attitude.Ning Zhi, a doctor of the state of Wei, once said to people: "This person is afraid that his family will be ruined! The ancients held banquets to observe the dignity of the guests and to check their fortunes. Therefore, the poem says, the horn cup is curved, and the sweet wine is sweet. And, don't be arrogant or impetuous, blessings come from themselves. Now the monarch entertains him, but he puts on an arrogant look, isn't he bringing on his own troubles?" In the winter of the same year, Duke Wei Ding died.When he was dying, he did something unconventional and paved the way for turmoil in the state of Wei—he ordered the doctor Kong Chengzi and Ning Zhili's concubine son kan (kan) to be the eldest son, who later became Wei Xiangong. Gong Zijin's mother, Jing Si, was the concubine of Duke Ding of Wei.Ding Jiang dared to be angry with Duke Wei Ding's arrangement but did not dare to speak out. At Wei Dinggong's funeral, she cried for a while and went back to the harem to rest. He sighed and said, "This man, I'm afraid he will lead to the downfall of Weiguo, and it must start with me first. What a pity! Heaven will bring disaster to Weiguo, why can't I see Xi coming to preside over the country? " Chi, is the young master Chi, and also the younger brother of the young master Jin.When the doctors of Wei State heard this, they felt that chaos was coming, and they were all worried.Sun Lin's father even planned for a rainy day, moved all his family wealth to Qicheng, his fief, and gave gifts to the doctors of Jin State to prepare for his future. The turmoil in the countries of the Central Plains attracted the attention of the King of the Communist Party of Chu.In the summer of 576 BC, the king of the Communist Party of Chu, who had long been unable to hold back his loneliness, once again swung his whip to the north to conquer Zheng Guo and Wei Guo, which were in constant civil strife.At this time, it was only three years since the Song Alliance between Jin and Chu.
