On this day, Concubine Meng was wandering around the imperial garden with a heavy heart, thinking about Zhou Tong's affairs, and her brows were kept locked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When she walked from the Imperial Garden to the Jinghua Hall next to her, she felt tightness in her chest several times, and she seemed to be powerless to even take another step.

But, suddenly, her whole body perked up and she quickened her pace and moved forward.

Her personal palace maid hurriedly looked ahead, and saw that it was Sima Yu and an attendant hurrying past a side path.

The personal palace maid hurriedly grabbed Concubine Meng and said, "Concubine Niangniang, have you forgotten Your Majesty's words?"

Concubine Meng said: "I just went to say hello to Lord Sima, and I didn't do anything unseemly." ”

With that, Concubine Meng shook off her hand and walked forward quickly.

The palace maid couldn't help but sigh in her heart - how could there be such a greeting?

Sima Yu soon spotted Concubine Meng who was walking towards him, and he was stunned for a moment before immediately continuing on his path.

Concubine Meng immediately shouted, "Wait."

Sima Yu had no choice but to stop, half-bowed his head and saluted her: "Sima Yu has seen Concubine Meng. ”

Concubine Meng came to him, kept a distance of two feet from him, and looked around vigilantly. Seeing that no one was passing by, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has sent people from all over the country to arrest a person, I don't know what Lord Sima thinks about this matter." ”

Sima Yu didn't look at her, and replied lightly: "This doesn't need to worry about Concubine Meng." ”

"Of course I don't worry about it, but isn't Lord Sima also worried about it?"

Sima Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's not so easy to find that person. ”

With that, Sima Yu left in a hurry.

Concubine Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning from Dongyun City, Jiang Yuetang began to study hard again.

On this day, Shangguan Che was busy until it was dark because there was something going on in the yamen, and after arriving at Jiangfu, he immediately ate a bowl of rice in three or two bites and gave Jiang Yuetang a lecture.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong favored his concubine Li Ji. Li Ji wanted to make his son Xi Qi the crown prince, so he sowed discord between Jin Xiangong and his three sons (Chong'er, Shensheng, Yiwu), and not long after, the crown prince Shensheng was sent to Quwo to guard the Zongmiao, and Chong'er and Yiwu were sent to the border to guard the border pass. Then, Li Ji designed to frame the crown prince Shen Sheng, causing Shen Sheng to completely lose the trust of Jin Xiangong and hang himself. After the deed was completed, Li Ji used another plan to frame Gongzi Chong'er and Yiwu, and these two were so frightened that they hurriedly fled to other vassal states.

Jin Gongzi Chong'er and his uncle Hu Yan, the god of war Xianzhen, the loyal minister Jie Zitui, the strategist Zhao Yuan and others fled to his mother's hometown of Zhai first. At that time, Zhai Guozheng was fighting with the Di people, and captured the two daughters of the Di tribe leader, Shu Kui and Ji Kui, and gave these two daughters to Chong'er. Chong'er married Ji Kui and gave Shu Kui to the strategist Zhao Yuan. Chong'er and Ji Kui gave birth to Bo Lu and Shu Liu, and the strategists Zhao Yu and Shu Kui gave birth to Zhao Dun. Then, Chong'er said goodbye to his wife and children, and fled to Qi with Huyan, Xianzhen, Jie Zitui and Zhao Yuan.

In the state of Qi, Duke Huan of Qi married a wife for Chong'er and gave him twenty horses. Chong'er lived in Qi with peace of mind, but several celebrities who came with Chong'er didn't want Chong'er to go on like this, so they planned to leave. This matter was soon known to Chong'er's wife, Jiang, who sighed: "You have the idea of going far away. He hurriedly said, "I don't have that idea. Jiang said: "You are the son of a country, you have to flee here, your entourage regards you as life, not only do you not return to China to repay these hard-working courtiers, but you blindly covet women/sex, I am ashamed of you." So Jiang and Hu Yan plotted to get him drunk, and then cruelly sent them away when he was drunk. After Chong'er woke up, he chased the fox and beat him.

After that, Chong'er passed through several countries, large or small, for many years, but was not courteous, and finally received the hospitality of King Chu Cheng in the state of Chu. After King Chu Cheng entertained him, he deliberately asked him, "If Gongzi returns to the Jin Kingdom one day, what will he give me back?"

He replied, "You have all the men and women, slaves, gold and silk you want, what can I give you in return?"

King Chu Cheng smiled: "Even so, you still have to repay me, right?"

Chong'er pondered for a while, and said, "In this way, if I can really return to the Jin Kingdom to be the king, then if there is a war between our two countries one day, I will retreat from you for ninety miles." ”

Later, Chong'er really returned to the Jin Kingdom and became the monarch, known as the Duke of Jin Wen in history. Nineteen years of fugitive life tempered his mind and broadened his horizons, so that he was already in his 60s and cherished this hard-won opportunity very much, and began to actively consolidate his hegemony.

Not long after, the state of Chu wanted to send troops to attack the state of Song, and the state of Song hurriedly sent people to ask the state of Jin for help.

Jin Wengong Chong'er was very good to Song Gong and couldn't bear to help, so he urgently summoned the generals to discuss ways to save Song.

The initial idea of everyone was to intercede with the Chu State, but they were afraid that the Chu State would not be willing, but if they really wanted to send troops to the Chu State, they were not very willing.

So, in the end, Duke Wen of Jin took the suggestion of Xianzhen - first agreed to Song's request, and then asked Song to contact Qi and Qin, so that Qi and Qin would come forward to negotiate with Chu, and then Jin sent troops to attack Cao and Wei, and after Cao and Wei were destroyed, a part of the land was distributed to Song as compensation.

King Chu Cheng learned that Duke Wen of Jin was going to save the Song Kingdom, so he persuaded his general Ziyu not to approach the Jin State, and said: "The Duke of Jin Wen was exiled for nineteen years before he was able to return to the Jin Kingdom. ”

But the proud and conceited Ziyu disagreed, saying that even if it was to block the mouths of those gossips, he would go to fight with the Jin army. King Chu Cheng had no choice but to give him only a few troops.

When he learned that the soldiers of Ziyu, the general of Chu, were coming to fight the Jin army, Duke Wen of Jin kept his promise to King Cheng of Chu and took the initiative to retreat for ninety miles.

Some of the generals in the Jin division were very unhappy, and said to Hu Yan: "We are the kings of the country, and they are the courtiers of the country, why do we want to avoid them, isn't it too embarrassing?"

Hu Yan replied with a smile: "Only by being upright can we be strong, and if we are at a loss, we will also be weak, our monarch has promised the king of Chu that if the two countries raise an army, they will retreat for ninety miles, if we do not keep our promise, it will be a loss, and the army that is in a loss will not be able to win the battle." If they don't retreat after we've retreated, then they're at fault, and we have a reason to attack them. ”

So, Hu Yan let the Jin army retreat for ninety miles.

The soldiers led by Ziyu really did not retreat.

The Jin army and the Chu army started a big battle.

Ziyu's soldiers advanced all the way, relying on the mountains and dangerous places to camp, and confronted the Jin army in Chengpu.

Jin Wengong took the practice of retreating for ninety miles, firstly, to repay King Chu Cheng's hospitality back then, and secondly, to lure the enemy deeper, but he didn't expect Ziyu to really take the bait.

On April 6, the two armies fought, and Ziyu said arrogantly: "There will be no advance in the sun." "And the Jin army before the war set 'Chu began to get Cao, and the newlywed in Wei, if Cao, Wei, Chu will save it, then Qi, Song will be exempted' combat policy, so after the war, first start from the defense of the country, and soon won, and then the Jin army into Cao, soon won again, so, the Wei State and the Cao State that were previously attached to the Chu State were captured successively, and the power of the Chu State was greatly weakened.

Then, Duke Wen of Jin used the strategy of Xianzhen to let Qi and Qin form an alliance with the Jin State to relieve the worries of the Jin State.

Then, the Jin army first launched an attack on the armies of Chen and Cai, which formed the right flank of the Chu state, and soon the right division of the Chu state was defeated. Immediately afterwards, the Jin army attacked the left flank troops of the Chu State, and not long after, the left division of the Chu State was also annihilated.

At this point, the Chu army was defeated, and Ziyu immediately fled back to Chu with the remnants of the defeated army and committed suicide at home.

This is the famous 'Battle of Chengpu'. ”
