Next is the glory of Jin Wengong's reign.

In the first year of Jin Wen, the younger brother of King Xiang of Zhou took the prince to steal his sister-in-law, and the king of Zhou Xiang had a fire, and the prince led the joint Di people to attack Zhou and defeated the Zhou army. King Xiang of Zhou fled to Zheng and sued the princes.

In the spring of the second year of Duke Wen of Jin, Qin Mugong received an urgent document from Zhou Tianzi and stationed troops on the bank of the Yellow River to prepare King Qin. Zhao Yu persuaded Jin Wengong with a politician's sense of smell: "It is best to support Zhou Tianzi to fight for hegemony, the Zhou royal family and the Jin State have the same surname Ji, if the Jin State does not escort Zhou Tianzi back to Beijing first and falls behind the Qin State, it will not be able to call the shots in the world, and today respecting the King of Zhou is the capital of the Jin State to dominate." "On the first day of March, the Jin army arrived at Yangfan and surrounded Wen, escorting King Xiang of Zhou back to Luoyi, the capital of Zhou. In April, killed the prince belt. King Xiang of Zhou was greatly moved and gave Hanoi and Yangfan to the Jin Kingdom.

In the fourth year of the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, King Cheng of Chu and the allied princes besieged the Song State, and Sun Gu, the Duke of the Song State, rushed to the Jin State to ask for assistance. Xian Zhen said: "To repay the benefactor and decide the overlord, it is up to today." Hu Yan said: "The state of Chu has just taken possession of the state of Cao, and for the first time intermarried with the state of Wei, if the state of Cao and the state of Wei are attacked, the state of Chu will definitely come to the rescue, then the state of Song will be liberated." "Duke Wen of Jin organized three armies to crusade against Cao and Wei, allies of the Chu State. In December, the Jin army captured the east of Taihang Mountain, and Duke Wen of Jin gave the original city to Zhao Yuan.

In the spring of the fifth year of Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Wen of Jin took Xun Lin's father as the royal Rong and Wei Li as the right of the car, led the Jin army to 800 to the south, and borrowed the road from Wei Guo when he attacked Cao Guo, but Wei Chenggong did not agree. The Jin army had no choice but to cross the Yellow River from the south to attack Cao and attack the state of Cao, crusading against the state of Wei. In the first month, the Jin army captured Wulu. In February, Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Xiao of Qi formed an alliance in Yuyu.

Wei Chenggong saw that the Jin army was pressing, and Jin and Qi formed an alliance again, and asked to participate in the alliance, but Jin Wengong did not agree. Wei Chenggong wanted to form an alliance with the Chu State, but the Weiguo people objected, and as a result, Wei drove Wei Chenggong out to curry favor with the Jin State. Wei Chenggong lived in Xiangniu, Gongzi bought to defend the country, Chu rescued the country, failed to win, and the Jin army defended the country without a fight.

In March, the Jin army went south to attack Cao, and on the Bingwu day, the Jin army invaded Cao Du and listed the crimes of Cao Gonggong, because Cao Gonggong did not listen to the words of the prisoner, and let three hundred beauties pull their gorgeous cars. Duke Wen of Jin ordered the army not to enter the homes of his fellow clansmen in return for his kindness.

The Jin army attacked Cao and Wei, intending to lure the Chu army north and sit back and wait for work. But the Chu army did not take the bait, and stormed the Song state, and the Song once again complained to the Jin army. If Duke Wen of Jin wants to rescue the State of Song, he should attack the State of Chu, because the State of Chu had been kind to Duke Wen of Jin, and Duke Wen of Jin did not want to attack the State of Chu and wanted to give up the rescue of the State of Song, but the State of Song was also kind to the State of Jin, and he would definitely lose the State of Song and fall into a strategic passive position, and the Duke of Wen of Jin was undecided. Xian Zhen persuaded: "Seize Cao Bo and distribute the land of Cao and Wei to the Song State, Chu must be anxious about this, then the Chu State is bound to give up attacking the Song State." So Duke Wen listened to Xianzhen's opinion, and King Chu Cheng really led his army to leave the Song Kingdom.

Chu general Ziyu was proud and conceited, opposed the withdrawal of King Chu Cheng, and insisted on fighting with Jin, King Chu Cheng said: "The Marquis of Jin has been on the run for nineteen years, and he has been trapped for too long, and finally returned to Jin. Because he has tasted all the hardships and dangers, he can treat the people correctly, and God has opened the way for him, and he is unstoppable. Ziyu still invited soldiers and said: "I don't dare to make meritorious contributions, I just want to block slanderous and slanderous remarks." "The king of Chu was angry and gave him only a small army.

At this time, Qin Mugong and Qi Zhaogong had different ambitions and cooperated passively with the Jin State, and the Jin State was faced with a decisive battle with Chu alone. Jin Wengong suggested that Song use land to bribe Qin and Qi, ask the two countries to come forward to ask Chu to withdraw their troops, and tell Chu about this, create contradictions between Qin, Qi and Chu, and divide Cao, Wei and Song on the one hand, and strengthen their determination to resist Chu. The state of Chu was unwilling to give up Cao and Wei, and Qi and Qin were unwilling to form an alliance with the state of Chu in order to obtain the land of the Song state, and finally had no choice but to form an alliance with the state of Jin, and the front of the army was directed at the state of Chu.

When the old housekeeper talked about this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Looking at the past and the present, who can achieve such an achievement?" Stabilize the internal army against the external enemy with strong strength. Who in the world can be like this except for me, Jin Wengong? Several other overlords revealed the inheritance of national power. ”

"Jin Wengong is indeed a generation of masters, and his exploits are worthy of praise from all later generations. Maybe he will be the one who has never had a future and has never appeared. Such praise is already quite high, Wei Ziheng sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Jin Wengong's life experience is full of countless ups and downs, but she does not give in, is good at fighting, and is good at being flexible, so that such a hegemony can appear.

He fought with the Chu State in the countries and made friends with the Qin State, so that he could form the position of hegemon.

In the fourth year of the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, King Cheng of Chu and the allied princes besieged the Song State, and Sun Gu, the Duke of the Song State, rushed to the Jin State to ask for assistance. Xian Zhen said: "To repay the benefactor and decide the overlord, it is up to today."

What followed was the battle of Chengpu, which shocked the world.

In the summer of the fifth year of Duke Wen of Jin, Ziyu sent Wanchun to negotiate with Jin: if Jin promised to let Cao and Wei restore the country, Chu would relieve the siege of Song. This is Ziyu's strategy of killing two birds with one stone, if the Jin State agrees to his request, then the three kingdoms of Cao, Wei, and Song will be grateful to the Chu State. If the Jin State did not agree to his request, then the three kingdoms of Cao, Wei, and Song would resent the Jin State. Doctor Jin immediately fell into Ziyu's trap and said: "Ziyu is very rude, my monarch only gets one, but their courtiers get two, and they can't agree." Xian Zhen saw through Ziyu's mechanism and said: "Calming people's hearts is called etiquette." The state of Chu stabilized the three countries with one sentence, and if you destroy them with one sentence, we are rude. If you don't agree to the state of Chu, this is to give up the state of Song. It is better to privately promise to restore Cao and Wei in order to lure the Chu State, detain Wanchun to provoke the Chu State, and then plan according to the outcome of the war. "Duke Wen of Jin adopted Xianzhen's suggestion on the one hand secretly promised Cao and Wei to restore the country, persuaded them to break off relations with Chu, and on the other hand, detained Chu envoys to provoke Ziyu.

Chu general Ziyu was very angry, led the army north to attack the Jin army, and forced Taoqiu, Jin Wengong was tired of the Chu army, and induced Ziyu to light the enemy to go deeper, so as to fight a decisive battle with Chu on the scheduled battlefield, the Chu officer asked: "Why did you retreat?" Hu Yan said: "In the past, when we were in the Chu State, we had made a covenant to retreat when we were fighting. "Duke Wen of Jin retreated to avoid three houses, not only to repay the courtesy given by King Chu Cheng before, but also to lure the enemy deeper, the Chu army also wanted to retreat, Ziyu disagreed.

In April Wuchen, Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Cheng of Song, Gui of Qi, Cui Yao, and Xiao Zi of Qin led an army to be stationed in Chengpu. Ziyu led Chu to advance quickly, relying on the danger of Xuling to set up camp, and had Zheng Guo, Chen Guo, and Cai Guo to help. Ziyu sent Dou Bo to ask the Jin State for war, and the Duke of Jin Wen promised to start the war the next morning. Then Duke Wen of Jin inspected the army in Youxin, and the Jin army had 700 chariots, fully equipped with chariots and horses, and cut down local trees as supplementary combat equipment.

In April, the Jin army set up a position in Youxinbei. Chu general Ziyu led 600 soldiers as the Chinese army, and said: "The Jin State must be wiped out today!" "Zixi commanded the left army of Chu, and Zishang commanded the right army of Chu. Xu Chen led the Jin army to the army, and used the tiger skin to cover the war horse to attack the allied forces of Chu Chen and Cai, and the Chen and Cai troops saw the Jin army's war horse wearing tiger skin from a distance and were immediately frightened, and the soldiers fled in all directions, and the right army of Chu was defeated. Fox Mao led the Jin army to set up two banners and pretended to retreat, Luan Zhi led the Jin army to let the chariot drag the branches and pretend to be an army to pretend to escape, the Chu army was deceived and pursued, Yuan Zhen and Xuan Qin led the Jin army to the Chu army to stop the waist and rush to kill, Fox Mao and Hu Yan commanded the army to attack Zixi from both sides, the left army of Chu was defeated, and the Chu army failed, and Ziyu fled back to the country with the remnants of the defeated army to commit suicide. Zheng Wengong, an ally of Chu, sued for peace with the Jin state, and the Jin Wengong and Zheng Wengong made an alliance at Hengyong. The Jin army stayed in the camp of the Chu army for three days, ate the captured military rations, and after resting for three days, they won the division. On the first day of April, the Jin army arrived in Hengyong and built a palace for King Xiang of Zhou in Jiantu.

There are quite a lot of details in the Battle of Chengpu, and Wei Ziheng, when he revisited this great battle, he couldn't help but compare some of the content of Sun Tzu's thirteen articles that he had learned. Found a lot of commonalities and subtleties.

The excellent qualities shown by Duke Wen of Jin in this battle are in line with the image of a Ming Jun mentioned in Sun Tzu's 13 chapters.

Through a series of policy means and combat methods, he completely holds the moral high ground in his own hands, so that the enemy becomes untrustworthy, and he becomes a powerful army of righteous divisions.

This is the wisdom of Jin Wengong. Of course, it is inseparable from his group of courtiers who get along day and night.
