Wei Ziheng asked the old housekeeper very kindly: "I don't know when you plan to return to the Jin Kingdom?" ”

"Of course it's with you, if you still want to stay in Qi for a while, a few of us are willing to accompany you." The old butler said kindly.

"I'm supposed to wait until after the Famous Sword Tournament."

"Princes debate, don't you need to participate? It's also a great learning opportunity. ”

"I guess so!"

Wei Ziheng said with some uncertainty. Wang Xu didn't tell himself a lot of things, and he didn't know if he really participated as a disciple of the Zongheng family established by Wang Xu.

All in all, if you have the chance, try your best.

The old housekeeper saw that the time was not early, and it was almost time to chat, so he didn't want to bother Wei Ziheng anymore: "Master Wei, you should prepare for the competition here, I already know that your current martial arts are quite strong, and you should also get ahead here." I'll just leave and get in touch. ”

"Okay, old housekeeper, you go slowly, tell me the address when the time comes, I will come to visit when I have time, maybe I have to stay for a while in Linzi, this Qi country." Wei Ziheng respectfully sent his old housekeeper out of the door slowly.

Looking at his somewhat aged body compared with the old housekeeper ten years ago, he is already like two people, and time has given people too many changes and precipitation.

The narrative just now has quite insightful information about the history of Jin Wengong and the Jin Kingdom.

In particular, some careful analysis of the war and what I have learned can be well connected, perhaps this is a benefit of life experience!

Wei Ziheng sat slowly in the room alone, thinking about what had just happened.

I can't help but recall the era of Jin Wengong, although it was short and brilliant, but his contribution was really indelible.

After that, the history of the Jin Kingdom entered the Xiangling Continuation Hegemony, and there were quite a few major historical events: the Battle of Kun, the Battle of Ji, the Battle of Lushui, the Battle of Peng Ya, the Battle of Wangguan, the League of Hu, and the Lord League of Zhao Dun.

After that, a series of events are a good reference and a way to learn for yourself.

Through the study and analysis of the Battle of Chengpu, combined with Sun Tzu's thirteen articles and his own study, he can also study some wisdom hidden in the war.

Wei Ziheng felt more and more that he should work harder, to transform himself into a scholar who was useful in the real world, maybe his own family, maybe someone was waiting for his return, and the appearance of the old housekeeper was the best proof.

Qin was a great power in the West at that time, and Duke Mu was famous for his virtuous name during his reign. He reused a group of virtuous ministers such as Baili Xi and Jian Shu, and the country became stronger, and since then he has tried his best to develop eastward and participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. He successively supported the return of the two monarchs of Jin Huigong and Jin Wengong, and his purpose was to seek allies or footholds in the east to achieve this strategic goal. When Jin was in Wengong, he maintained a good relationship with Qin. In the Battle of Chengpu, Qin sent troops to help Jin and helped Duke Wen of Jin ascend to the throne of overlord.

In the twenty-second year of King Xiang of Zhou, the Jin Wen Guild and Qin Mugong besieged Zheng State, crusading against Zheng Guo and harboring two hearts for Jin. The Jin army was stationed in Hanling and besieged Zheng from the east and north; The Qin army was stationed in southern Pannan and surrounded Zheng from the west. In order to save the national crisis, Zheng Wengong sent a special envoy Candle Zhiwu to persuade Qin Mugong: Jin and Qin surrounded Zheng, and Zheng Guo knew that it was going to perish. But the fall of Zheng was not good for Qin, it only strengthened the power of Jin. And the increase in the power of the Jin state is the weakening of the power of the Qin state. Wouldn't it be better for Qin if Zheng State was not destroyed, but left as the host of Qin State and enshrined the envoys of Qin State? What's more, your monarch once had a favor to Jin Jun, and Jin Jun promised to cede Qin Jiao and the flawed land, but Jin Jun crossed the river in the morning and returned to the country, and fortified the Qin State at night. If Jin annexed Zheng to the east, then if Qin was not invaded to the west, where would the land be obtained? Therefore, destroying Zheng is actually a strategy to damage the Qin State in favor of the Jin State, please consider it!

Candle Zhiwu's words made Qin Mugong wake up like a dream, not only did he no longer help Jin to destroy Zheng, but instead formed a separate alliance with Zheng Guo, and left Qizi, Fengsun, and Yang Sun three doctors to help Zheng Shu, and he led his troops back to China.

After the Qin army retreated, Jin Dafu Hu Yan and others were greatly dissatisfied with Mu Gong's treachery and advocated attacking the Qin army. Duke Wen of Jin looked at the big picture, believing that Qin was kind to Jin and that it was unkind to attack the Qin army.

At the same time, in order to maintain the hegemony of the Central Plains, it would be unwise for Jin to lose such an ally as Qin. Therefore, Jin also made peace with Zheng Guo, and then withdrew. Although the Jin and Qin Zheng incidents ended in this way, it planted a reason for the Qin and Jin to fight each other.

In the twenty-fourth year of King Xiang of Zhou, Duke Zheng and Duke Wen of Jin passed away successively. Qin Dafu Qizi and others reported to Mu Gong secretly, saying that they controlled the city defense of Zheng Guo's capital, and suggested that Mu Gong send troops to attack Zheng Guo, and let them make internal responses, then Zheng Guo could be destroyed. Qin Mugong had been deliberately seeking to develop eastward for many years, and this suggestion was in the middle of the heart, if he could attack Zheng State, he could enter the Central Plains and share the hegemony of the Jin State.

So, Mu Gong asked Uncle Jian for advice. Uncle Jian said: The army of hard work is running from afar, which I have never heard of. Crossing thousands of miles to attack others, how can people not know? Our army will not succeed after a long journey, exhausted, and prepared by others. But the temptation of attacking Zheng was very great, and Princess Mu had already made up her mind, so she didn't listen to Uncle Jian's opinion, and ordered Baili Mengming, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing to lead the troops eastward.

The Qin army attacked Zheng, from the Qin capital Yong to Zhengdu, the journey of more than 1,500 miles, passing through Taolin, Yuhan, Yuyuan, Tiger Prison and other Xiongguan dangerous fortresses, which was an adventurous military operation.

In the twenty-fifth year of King Xiang of Zhou, in the spring and February, the Qin army passed through the north gate of Luoyi, the royal capital, and "the left and right sides were exempted from going down, and the overriders were 300 times", showing frivolity and rudeness. The Qin army arrived in the country of Hua, and met the merchant Xiangao who went to Zhou to do business with Zheng Guo. Seeing this, Xiangao first sent four cowhides in the name of Zheng Guojun, and then sent twelve cows to reward Qin Jun, saying: "The widow heard that my son would be a foot master out of Yiyi, and he dared to follow him." Not shy, for the submergence of the servant, the residence has a day's accumulation, and the line is prepared for a night's defense. "On the one hand, he sent someone to rush back to China by passing a car to report.

Zheng Mugong received the report from Xiangao, and immediately sent people to inspect the mansion where the Qin generals lived, and saw that the Qin soldiers had "bundled, strengthened, and struck" and were ready to fight. Therefore, Zheng Mugong sent the doctor Huang Wuzi to thank the Qin general and said: Jun and others have stayed in our country for a long time, and our country has been unable to supply grain, cattle and sheep. I heard that Jun and the others are leaving, Zheng Guo has the original garden, just like Qin Guo has Gu Yu, please go hunt elk yourself, how about we have a leisure? When the Qin generals saw that the secrets had been leaked, Qizi fled to Qi, and Fengsun and Yang Sun fled to Song.

Qin Shuai Meng Ming saw that Nei Ying had fled, and Zheng Guo was prepared, thinking that "the attack cannot be overcome, and the siege will not continue", so it is better to retreat, attack and destroy the slippery country, and return with a full load of booty.

In the state funeral of Duke Wen, Jin received information that Qin attacked Zheng State, and the commander of the Chinese army Xianzhen believed that Qin Mugong did not listen to Uncle Jian's advice, but rejuvenated the army with greed, which was an opportunity given by God to attack the enemy, and advocated attacking the Qin army. Doctor Luan Zhi thought that he did not repay the favor given by Qin Mugong, but attacked his army, which was not for the sake of the ancestors. Xian Zhen said: "Qin doesn't mourn my mourning, but I have the same surname, Qin is rude, what can I do?" And he said, "I have heard it: 'If you set up an enemy in one day, you will be troubled for several generations.'" 'Seeking children and grandchildren, can you be described as a dead king? Xianggong adopted the advice of the ancestors, sent troops to attack Qin, and united Jiang Rong to act. Xianggong wore mourning clothes to personally supervise the army, Liang Hong drove for him, and Laiju did the right of the car. The combined forces of Jin and Jiang Rong set up an ambush between the east and west mountains of the Cuihan region.

In April, the Qin army entered an ambush circle, and under the attack of Jin and Jiang Rong, the whole army was annihilated, and Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, Bai Yibing and other three marshals were captured.

The Jin army returned victorious, Wen Huan was the Duchess of Wen, and Xianggong's mother asked Xianggong to release the three marshals of Qin, saying that they were the culprits who constituted the gap between Qin and Jin, and asked them to return to China to be killed. Xianggong immediately released the three marshals of Qin. The first learned that he blamed Xianggong for mishandling. Xianggong ordered Yang Virgin's father to pursue him, and Qin Sanshuai had boarded a boat to cross the river. Meng Ming and the other three marshals returned to the Qin State, and Mu Gong not only did not add to the crime, but became more trustworthy and made him a full-time military officer.

In the twenty-seventh year of King Xiang of Zhou, Qin Mengming led his division to attack Jin, fought in Peng Ya, and the Qin division failed. In the winter of the same year, Dr. Jin first led the combined forces of Song, Chen, and Zheng to attack Qin, and returned to Wang and Peng Ya.

The following year, Qin Mugong personally led an army to attack the Jin, crossed the Yellow River, and burned ships to show his determination to fight to the death.

Capture the royal officials and suburbs of the Jin Kingdom. The Jin people did not come out, the Qin army turned around and went south, crossed the Yellow River from Maojin again, arrived at Kunshan, sealed the bones of the Qin army in Kunzhong, and then returned.

I was thinking about another big war that shocked the Central Plains.

Yue Wang Gou Jian appeared at the right time at this time, and he floated in the air like a ghost: "What are you thinking?" ”

Wei Ziheng came back to his senses and said, "I'm thinking about some questions. ”

"What kind of history are you thinking, I was originally sitting and cultivating in your Void World, and suddenly I felt some strange aura, and then I saw some war scenes conjured up in your Void World, which made me come out directly." Looking at King Goujian, there was some shouting, and it seemed that the scene of the void world was a bit spectacular.

"That's true, an old friend of mine came to visit me before, he is also from the Jin Kingdom, and when we talked to each other, we inevitably talked about some of the history of the Jin Kingdom, and we recounted some things about the Duke of Jin Wen, including the Battle of Chengpu. Later, I was thinking about the battle that took place during the reign of Xianggong of Jin. Wei Ziheng replied truthfully on the side.

King Yue Goujian was a little puzzled, so he gently floated down and looked at Wei Ziheng: "Oh, you seem to be from the Jin Kingdom, no wonder I saw the banner of the Jin Kingdom." You said it was the Battle of Yu, but it was another big battle after Duke Wen of Jin. ”

Wei Ziheng suddenly had a good idea, and hurriedly asked Goujian, the king of Yue: "I don't know if you, as the king of Yue, can you give your own views and suggestions?" ”

"Are you talking about Jin Wengong, or is it this battle?"

"It's okay, you might as well evaluate Jin Wengong first!"

Yue Wang Goujian thought to himself for a while and said, "My evaluation? Actually, I don't know what to say about this real overlord. ”

"But you're also a hegemon." Wei Ziheng said sincerely.

Gou Jian shook his head and said: "This is different, becoming a hegemon is part of the strength, and there is also a kind of recognition." Maybe King Zhou recognizes my strength, but he doesn't recognize my overlord. is on one side, and after all, it can't be guarded by the Zhou room.

At any time, the Jin State is the northern overlord of the Central Plains, and it is deeply loved by the Zhou family, how should I evaluate such a country? ”

"Put aside your identity and look at it as an ordinary person!" Wei Ziheng seemed to be eager to hear the opinion of Goujian, the king of Yue.

But Yue Wang Goujian still shook his head: "I don't think I need to evaluate, there are not too many places worthy of my evaluation." Some things need to be understood by yourself, because everyone's feelings are different, if you can find your own position, and then look at this thing will be good, if you really listen to my evaluation or opinion, I am afraid that this kind of thinking will dominate you.

After all, you are you, I am me, you are the one with a future, and I am already dead. ”
