Chapter 356: Spring and Autumn Righteousness

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, there were twenty countries, and in an instant, the seven heroes divided the troops. ------------Clear. Jia Kaixi "Wooden Bark Sanren Drum Lyrics"

Speaking of the periphery of Yecheng, Chun Yuqiong listened to Guo Tu's suggestion and erected a strong camp to resist the impact of the defeated army. Guan Yu led the pursuers to pursue behind, but was repelled by a rain of arrows from Chun Yuqiong's army, and even Guan Yu himself was injured.

Guan Yu retreated to the military village, and Chen Long was taken aback when he saw Guan Yu hit an arrow in his arm, and personally healed Guan Yu's injuries. After some bandaging and stitching, Guan Yu felt no pain, turned around and went back to the camp, but he felt a trace of gratitude to the Dragon Ball.

Guan Yu had just walked into his big tent, because there was no anesthetic, the pain in his right arm was on fire. Guan Yu didn't frown, picked up a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his left hand, and read it carefully in the still bright sky. Although he had read it many times, Guan Yu was still immersed in the mysteries of the Spring and Autumn Period, and soon forgot about the pain. The vastness of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the truth of being a man seem to be all in this strange book.

"Spring and Autumn" is indeed a strange book, and the Spring and Autumn period is the historical stage of the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in Chinese history. From 770 BC to 476 BC, it is known as the "Spring and Autumn Period". The historians of the Lu State recorded the major events reported by various countries at that time by year, quarter, month, and day, and recorded the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter in a year.

The Spring and Autumn Period began in 770 BC (the first year of King Zhou Ping) the year when King Zhou Ping moved eastward to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and ended in 476 BC (the forty-fourth year of King Jing of Zhou), on the eve of the Warring States Period, a total of 295 years. Confucius compiled and revised the Spring and Autumn Period compiled by the historians of the Lu State and became one of the Confucian classics.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the King of Zhou weakened, and the princes were in dispute, and the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the Duke of Xiang of Song, the Duke of Qin Mu, and the King of Chuzhuang successively claimed hegemony, and the history was known as the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. The royal family was declining day by day, power was on the sidelines, vassal states were fighting each other, and wars were frequent. Small vassal states were annexed one after another, and powerful vassal states were unified in local areas. This is very similar to the Three Kingdoms period.

In the middle of the Spring and Autumn period, there was a period of relative peace, because the countries were exhausted by the war and needed to recuperate, so the war was temporarily quelled by an agreement reached in 546 BC with the participation of 14 countries. However, during this period, in the Yangtze River Valley, there were many hegemony struggles between Wu, Chu, and Yue. In the middle and late Spring and Autumn period, with the popularization of ox farming and the application of iron farming tools, the economy developed rapidly, and there was a profound social change such as the development of private land and the collapse of the well field system. Within some vassal states, the aristocracy became powerful and began to compete for power with the king. The emerging vassal powers have successively achieved hegemony, and in fact, they are equivalent to succeeding the co-rulers of the Zhou royal dynasty.

In 453 B.C., Han, Zhao, and Wei joined forces to defeat the Zhi clan in Jinyang, and then gradually divided the Jin kingdom and established their own countries, which is the famous "Three Families Divide Jin". In 379 BC, the Tian clan of Qi replaced the surname Jiang as the Marquis of Qi, which was "Tian Qi". As a result, the era of the seven heroes standing side by side and competing for hegemony with each other gradually came, and the Spring and Autumn Period moved towards the Warring States Period.

Among these Spring and Autumn overlords, Guan Yunchang admired Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai the most. Duke Qi Huan is the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the fifteenth monarch of Qi, surnamed Jiang, Qi, named Xiaobai, at the age of 73. He is the twelfth grandson of Jiang Taigong Lu Shang, and his mother is a patriot. After Qi Xianggong, the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, and Gongsun Wuzhi, the nephew of the Duke of Qi, died in civil strife one after another, Gongzi Xiaobai and Gongzi successfully competed for the throne, that is, the monarch was Duke Huan of Qi.

Huan Gong appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister, carried out reforms, and implemented the system of integrating the military and the government and the army and the people, and the Qi country gradually became stronger. In 681 BC, Duke Huan convened an alliance of the princes of Song, Chen, Cai, and Yi in Beixing, and was the first prince in history to act as the leader of the alliance. At that time, the princes of the Central Plains suffered from the attacks of Rong Di and other tribes, so the Duke of Qi Huan played the banner of "respecting the king and destroying the people", attacked Shanrong in the north and attacked the Chu State in the south, becoming the first overlord in the Central Plains and being rewarded by Zhou Tianzi. But in his later years, he was mediocre, and after Guan Zhong died, he appointed villains such as Yi Ya and Ji Diao, and finally starved to death in the civil strife, Guan Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh every time he read this.

When the Duke of Qi Huan attacked Chu, the army was extremely strong, and it was known as the "Division of Zhaoling" in history. The people of Chu, who bore the brunt of the situation, knew the situation best. The "Summoning Division" coalition army had a strength of 1,000 or hundreds of military vehicles, which was an unprecedented huge force at that time. Under the tremendous pressure of the coalition forces, the state of Chu was forced to ask to join the alliance of the state of Qi, which was extremely impressive in the hearts of the Chu people. In 641 BC after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the state of Chu, which wanted to seek hegemony, participated in the alliance meeting in the state of Qi, and still took the state of Qi as the leader of the alliance, which shows the prosperity of Qi Huan's hegemony.

Guan Yu was reading the prosperity of Qi Huan's hegemony, and when he was fascinated, suddenly there was a disturbance outside the camp, and the soldiers came to report, and a general called himself Han Meng, the general of Jizhou, led the troops to fight outside the village, and singled out Guan Yu's name.

Guan Yu was called by a nobody, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he had long forgotten about the injury on his right arm. led the red rabbit horse, raised the green dragon glaive knife, went straight to the outside of the village, and fought with Han Meng in one place. After all, the right arm is not very strong, and the gold has already collapsed, and the blood is flowing like a stream. Guan Yu dragged the knife and left, where was Han Meng willing to give up, he wanted to kill Guan Yu to avenge Jiang Qi, and chased after him.

At this time, Long Chen heard that Guan Yu was out of the battle with an injury, so he hurriedly picked up the steel gun and came out to respond. As soon as he arrived outside the camp, he suddenly saw Guan Yu dismount and make a cool turn, and Guan Yu's left hand knife lightning slashed, swinging Han Meng into two pieces on the spot.

Guan Yu killed Han Meng with a dragging knife, and Chen Long led the troops, killing Han Meng's soldiers for a while. Guan Yu used too much force, and Chen Long saved Guan Yu and returned to the village to recuperate.

Han Meng's defeated troops returned to the village, and Chun Yuqiong was informed of Han Meng's death. Chun Yuqiong sighed for a long time, and his heart was this Guan Yu again, and he actually killed two of my generals in one day! Guo Tuyan said: "Now that we have lost two battles in a row, our morale will definitely be low, and we must not go out of the field again." The general can give orders, and those who send troops without authorization will be beheaded. ”

Chun Yuqiong gave the order according to her words, and no one dared to rush into battle for a while. On the second day, a Montenegrin army arrived outside the wall, and did not fight, but only lined up outside the range of feather arrows, showing off its strength from afar.

This soldier was a suspicious soldier who ordered Wu Anguo to lead 10,000 people and set it up for Chun Yuqiong's camp, and Guo Tu would never dare to fight. The rest of the troops crossed the boundary river in the morning and marched towards Yecheng. In the banner exhibition, Chen Long, who incarnated as a dragon ball, was majestic, with a feather on the left and Tai Shici on the right, and a corner of the high wall of the capital of Jizhou was already close in front of him.
