The King of Chu was shocked and praised: "The son is a true magic arrow!" ”

Suddenly, there was a sudden shout in the paddock, and the king of Chu sent him left and right to see what was going on, and reported back: ""A beast was driven out of the valley, like a bear but not a bear, its nose was like an elephant, its head was like a lion, its feet were like a tiger, its hair was like a jackal, its mane was like a wild pig, its tail was like a cow, its body was larger than a horse, its text was black and white, and its swords, halberds, swords and arrows could not be injured. Chewing iron is like mud, the axle is wrapped in iron, all are gnawed, incoherent, people can't make it, so it's noisy. ”

The king of Chu said in a heavy ear: "The son grew up in the Central Plains, and he is well-read, so he must know the name of this beast." ”

Chong'er looked back at Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan stepped forward and said: "The minister can know it." The name of this beast is called 'tapir', born with the golden gas of heaven and earth, the head is small and the feet are low, the good food copper and iron, the feces are drowned, the hardware is seen, all are digested as water, its bones are solid and have no marrow, it can be substituted for the mallet, take its skin as a mattress, and can dispel the plague and get wet. ”

The king of Chu asked, "Then how can you control it?" ”

Zhao Yu replied: "The skin and flesh of this strange beast are all made of iron, but there are voids in the nostrils, which can be pierced with pure steel; Or die with fire, and the golden nature is afraid of fire. ”

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, Wei Li took over the words and said sharply: "The minister doesn't use weapons, capture this beast alive and sacrifice it in front of the car." "Jumped out of the car and ran.

The king of Chu turned his head and said, "How about the widow and the prince looking at it together?" The heavy ears should be, and the two of them immediately ordered the car to go.

Let's say that Wei Li rushed into the northwest corner, and when he saw the beast, he jumped forward and struck a few punches in a row. The beast was not afraid at all, and with a loud cry, like the sound of an ox, stood upright, licked it with its tongue, and ate a piece of the gilded belt around Wei Li's waist.

Wei Li was furious and said: "Evil animals must not be rude! Leaping about five feet from the ground, the beast rolled on the spot and crouched aside. Wei Li's heart became more and more angry, and he jumped up again, taking advantage of this leap, he used all his life strength, straddled the beast, and hugged its neck with both hands, the beast struggled to hesitate, Wei Li went up and down, but he didn't let go. The beast's strength gradually weakened after struggling for a long time, Wei Li was more than ferocious, and the tighter his arms became, the beast's neck was strangled, and his breath was blocked, and he didn't move at all.

Wei Linai jumped down, and then stretched the copper muscles and iron bones, two arms, and twisted the elephant trunk of the beast with one hand, like a dog and sheep, until the king of Chu and Chong'er in front of him.

"What a tiger!" The King of Chu praised.

Zhao Yu ordered the sergeant to take the nose of the beast, and the fire penetrated, and the beast made a pile.

Wei Li just let go, pulled out the sword on his waist and slashed it, the sword light burst out, and the beast hair was not damaged. Zhao Yu said: "If you want to kill this beast and take the skin, you should also use fire to surround it." ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he asked the sergeant to do the same, and the skin and flesh of the beast were like iron, and after being burned on all sides, they gradually became soft and could be peeled.

The king of Chu couldn't help but sigh: "The prince is subordinate to all the masters, both civil and military, and there is no one in my country!" ”

This Wei Li's bravery can be seen, and his descendants have also continued his brave characteristics, and gradually became one of the six secretaries of the Jin State.

After Chong'er and others lived in Chu for a few months, they received an envoy from Qin on this day, and the envoy was invited by the king of Qin to enter Qin. Originally, the Qin State did not support Chong'er, but now why did he invite Chong'er?

It turned out that the crown prince of the Jin State, who was hostage in the Qin State, learned that Jin Huigong was seriously ill and was worried that the position of the monarch would be passed on to others, so he left his wife from the Qin State and said goodbye. Qin Mugong was very angry, thinking that in order to avoid heavy ears and virtuous ability, he was worried that if he became the king, he would make the Jin State strong, thus threatening his own country, and Yingli Yiwu would become the king of the Jin State and become the Duke of Jin Hui, but this Jin Huigong was afraid of power and killed Rick and other old ministers, and sent people to hunt down and kill Chong'er, and took revenge, and did not promise to the Qin State, causing the Jin State and the Qin State to fall out of harmony. And Jin Huigong forgot the original kindness of Qin, but sent troops to attack Qin, and finally suffered a fiasco, and then had to cut the land and beg for mercy, and asked his son Gongzi Yu to be a hostage in Qin, which repaired the relationship between the two countries. In order to control Gongzi Yu, Qin Mugong married his daughter Huaiying to him. In the society at that time, this was a matter of intimacy, and the relationship should be very stable. However, when this prince heard that his father was ill, he was afraid that the position of the monarch would be passed on to others, so he left his wife and secretly ran back to the Jin Kingdom alone. As soon as the Duke of Jin Hui died, Gongzi Yu became the monarch of the Jin State, that is, the Duke of Jin Huai, after the Duke of Jin Huaigong became the monarch, he did not interact with the Qin State. is really the same as that father, a white-eyed wolf, unfed and unfed, how can such an unvirtuous person be the king?

Therefore, as soon as Qin Mugong heard that Chong'er lived in the Chu State, he wanted to invite Chong'er to the Qin State.

King Chu Cheng said: "The state of Chu is too far away from the state of Jin, and it takes several countries to reach it. The border between the Qin State and the Jin State is very virtuous, the monarch of the Qin State is very wise, you can go well! "King Chu Cheng is very generous and gives a lot of gifts to Chong'er.

In 637 BC, in the autumn of the fourteenth year of Jin Huigong, Chong'er went to Qin, Qin Mugong admired Chong'er very much, and married five women of the same sect to Chong'er, and the wife of the prince of Jin was also among them. Chong'er didn't plan to accept the wife of the prince, and felt that there was a suspicion of chaotic blood.

One of the people who accompanied him was named Xu Chen, and said, "We are going to attack the kingdom of Yuan, let alone his wife!" Moreover, you accepted this woman in order to form a marriage with the Qin State in order to return to the Jin Kingdom, aren't you sticking to small etiquette and forgetting the great shame! ”

Hearing Xu Chen's advice, Chong'er accepted the wife of the crown prince. Qin Mugong was very happy and personally feasted with Chong'er.

At the banquet, Zhao Yu took advantage of the wine to sing a poem, "Millet Miao":

Peng Peng millet seedlings, rainy ointment. Leisurely southward journey, summoning the shrike.

I'll let me do it, I'll drive my cow. I have set up and covered the clouds.

I am in vain, I am in charge, I am in my brigade. I have gathered, and Gaiyun has returned.

Su Su thanked him for his merit and summoned him to the camp. Fierce conscription, summon Bo Cheng.

The original is flat, and the spring is clear. Zhao Bo is successful, and Wang Xin is Ning.

Listening to the poems, Qin Mugong knew his thoughts and said, "The widow knows that you want to return to the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible. On the same day, we will send troops to escort you back to China. ”

Hearing this, Chong'er left his seat and thanked Qin Mugong again, saying, "We, the isolated courtiers, rely on you, just like Baigu looks forward to the good rain of the season. In this life, I will never forget the king's kindness and kindness. ”

Finally in 636 B.C., Chong'er and others returned to the Jin Kingdom after a 20-year absence under the escort of 3,000 soldiers, and entered the country in February to ascend the throne, which was for the Duke of Wen of Jin.

After the Duke of Jin Wen ascended the throne, he was carefully inspired, appointed a cadre of important ministers who followed his own suffering, repaired government affairs, and gave favors to the people. The national strength is growing day by day.

In 633 BC, King Cheng of Chu and the allied princes besieged the Song state, and the Song state requested assistance from the Jin state. Jin State in the Lu military parade, Jin Wen Gong set up three armies, set up six secretaries, originally intended to let Zhao Yu appoint, but Zhao Yuan resigned, "His Majesty's intelligence is not enough for this important task, should choose the right person to serve, His Majesty recommended Hao Gu as the commander of the Chinese army, his hobby of etiquette and music, familiar with poetry and books, know etiquette and understand the law and benevolence, as the commander of the first army, and can send Yin Qin to assist him." The fox fur of the army is loyal, and he can serve as a scheming person, and the fox Yan assists him. Luan Zhi can command the army, and his subordinates think that he is loyal and prudent, and he can be competent, and he can assist him in the first military service. Xun Lin's father drove the car, and Wei Li was the guard. ”

This is the origin of the first Jin State Three Armies and Six Secretaries. Later generations commented that Zhao Yu was low-key, did not fight for power and profit, and did not care about personal gains and losses, which was the "winter sun".

After all, Na Hegu was very old, and when he died in 632 BC, Duke Wen of Jin directly appointed Xian Zhen as the new general of the Chinese army. At this time, the new three armies and six secretaries are, the Chinese army generals: Xianzhen, the middle army Zuo: Yin Qin, the upper army general: Hu Mao, the upper army Zuo: Hu Yan, the lower army general: Luan Zhi, the lower army Zuo: Xu Chen.

Under the leadership of Xianzhen, the Jin State and the Chu State fought in Chengpu, and the Chu State was defeated.

Since then, Liuqing has continued, in the early days, the first family was the mainstay, but the first Zhen had been in front of Jin Xianggong "regardless of the spit", he felt deeply remorseful, in the same year after fighting against Zhai people, exempted from martyrdom, his death Mingzhi, but also to die to apologize to Jin Xianggong. After his death, Jin Xianggong appointed his son Xian and Ju as the general of the Chinese army.

However, in 618 BC, the Xian family underwent a great change, and Xian Ke, the grandson of Xian Zhen, was assassinated by the clansmen. At that time, the commander of the Chinese army was Zhao Dun, the son of Zhao Yuan, who had a good relationship with the Xian family, so he gave more light to Xianke's son Xian Yu. After the Zhao family's retainers died suddenly, Zhao Dun pulled the young Xian Yu into Liuqing, Zuo Hao was missing as the military Zuo, and the status of the Xian Yu who was led by someone was very high. With the assistance of Zhao Dun, Yin Que and other world friends, the Xian clan developed very smoothly, but it also cultivated a dangerous personality of Xian Wei, who had no political experience, but Xian Wei himself did not know it, which eventually led to a tragedy.

In 601 BC, Zhao Dun died, and he was in power, and the first general went to the army. In 597 B.C., Yin Que also died, and he was succeeded by the upright but wooden Xun Lin's father. According to the example, the first Zhu Zuo Zhongjun, among the six Qings, only Xun Lin's father is below. In this year, the Battle of Yi broke out in Jin and Chu, and the six kings of the three armies of Jin all went out to hunt in the river with the king of Chuzhuang. The Jin army in the Zhu Qing suggested retreat, it is not suitable to compete with the Chu army, Xian Zhu because of the usual disagreement with Xun Lin's father's political opinions, he sneered at the retreat, and led the department to cross the river without authorization, Xun Lin's father heard the news, remembered the love between Xian Zhen and Zhao Yuan, and had no choice but to lead the whole army to follow up, and the Jin army was dragged into the battlefield by Xian Yu unprepared. In the battle of Yi, the Jin army was defeated like a mountain, after Xun Lin's father returned to China, he asked the monarch to give him death, and he was still the first to cover up the disaster, Jin Jinggong remembered his great talent, and experienced Wen, Xiang, Ling, Cheng, Jing five generations of monarchs, full of five dynasties veterans, loyal, and also knew that this defeat was not Xun Lin's father's responsibility, so he was not to blame, and still let Xun Lin's father serve as a general of the Chinese army.

The ancestor who escaped the catastrophe did not reflect too much, but he was worried that the monarch would find him to settle accounts in the future, in order to prevent accidents, he led Xianyu, Rong Di and other foreign tribes to attack the Jin State in 596 BC, and then the conspiracy failed, Jin Jinggong was furious, killed Xian Yu and remembered the defeat of the previous year, and the two combinations even his clan were ordered to be destroyed, so that the illustrious Xian clan withered.

Let's talk about the Han family, which was originally a prince of the Jin Kingdom, and came from the Quwo sect of the Jin Kingdom. Uncle Qu Wohuan gave birth to his son Wan, who was sealed in Hanyuan (now Hancheng City, Shaanxi Province), and established the Han clan, so he was called Han Wan, which was for Han Wuzi. The Han clan was very powerful in the three dynasties of Jin Wugong, Jin Xiangong, and Jin Huigong, with a high status, and was an active follower of the Quwo regime.

In 636 BC, Duke Wen of Jin ascended the throne and vigorously promoted the major clans in the country to consolidate his power. At this time, Han Jian, the head of the Han family, was dead, and his son Han Yu lacked qualifications. The once glorious Han family went to a low point in the era of Jin Wengong, and it was even more unfortunate that Han Yu died early, his son Han Ju was young, the Han family was thin, and the family was in decline. Zhao was benevolent and righteous, and took Han Ju to his subordinates to raise him, and the nobleman later became a retainer of the Zhao family. This Han Ju had to meet a nobleman, and Zhao Yu treated him well, and then Zhao Dun, the son of Zhao Yuan, promoted him to be the Sima of the three armies in charge of the military law order of the three armies, and his status was second only to Liuqing. This Han Ju was deeply influenced by Zhao Yu and Zhao Dun, and he was upright.

One day, Zhao Dun's Yu Rong drove Zhao Dun's chariot through the military formation, seriously disrupting the order of the troops. When Han Ju saw it, he immediately shouted, "Someone!" Cut me the driver! The knife and axe man immediately arrested the perpetrator, and Han Ju did what he said, and really killed Zhao Dun's cronies. Seeing this, the generals were secretly thinking, Han Ju's kid was mostly finished, Zhao Dun only promoted him in the morning, he betrayed Zhao Dun at night and killed his pro-army, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, this Han Ju may not be able to escape this catastrophe.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Dun, who got the news, instead of blaming Han Ju, praised Han Ju's justice in law enforcement: "I deliberately let him disrupt the order of the army just now, see your reaction." I'm relieved. Young man, do a good job, who will be the one who will govern the Jin Kingdom in the future, if not you? After that, under the influence of Zhao Dun, Han Ju began to show his hands and feet in the Jin Dynasty, in the Jin Jinggong period, he decided to expand the army establishment, the original three armies and six secretaries to six armies and twelve secretaries, this Han Ju finally entered the six secretaries to worship the new Chinese generals, the head of the six secretaries of the new army.

In that year, Zhao Dun, a 56-year-old generation of heroes, died, and under his leadership, he maintained the hegemony of Jin Wen's public creation, but also because of its power to the government and the opposition, the Zhao family became dominant, but it also buried hidden dangers for the Zhao family. His death gave up the position of the doctor of the Zhao clan to his brother Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo succeeded him as the suzerain of the Zhao family. However, Zhao Kuo had no virtue and was not enough to lead the Zhao family to continue its glory, so the hope of the whole clan was placed on Zhao Shuo, the son of Zhao Dun, and Zhao Shuo soon became a secretary and a general.
