The envoys who were sent to the state of Lu arrived in the state of Lu, directly met with Duke Lu Huan, and acted according to the orders of Duke Zheng Li. tells how Zheng Ligong was supported by Song Zhuang Gong to succeed to the throne, and how he was blackmailed by Song Zhuang Gong with a huge amount of money, and how much gold and silver property Zheng Guo had given to Song Guo, but Song Zhuang Gong was not only dissatisfied, but also stepped up the extortion.

Lu Huan Gong listened to it not only not angry but happy, he said: "In the past, my Lu State occupied the cities of the Song State, and the Song State only used a tripod as a gift, and the widow returned the city. Today, he Song Zhuang Gong has received enough gifts from Zheng Guo, why is he not satisfied? The widow should personally go to meet Song Zhuang Gong and intercede for Zheng Guojun. It is believed that Song Zhuang Gong will definitely give up the idea of continuing to ask for bribes. ”

Lu Huangong's promise made the envoys who went to Lu successfully complete their mission. After getting the support of Lu Huangong, he was very happy, and thanked Lu Guojun for returning to Zheng to report.

However, the envoys sent to Qi did not go so well.

Qi Jiaogong wanted to use Zheng Zhuang Gong to achieve his own goal of destroying discipline in advance, so as to avenge the revenge of the ancestors. Unexpectedly, his wish had not been realized, but Zheng Zhuanggong died. Hearing that Ji Hu, the son of Zheng Guo, was on the throne, he was slightly relieved, after all, Ji Hu's merits in aiding Qi back then were still in mind. Although the marriage has not yet been completed, there are still two countries fighting side by side.

And what relieved Qi Gong was that Ji Hu ascended the throne, so he sent people to send gifts, and repeatedly repaired Qi and Zheng Zhihao in the national letter. Let Qi Jiaogong gather in his heart, the unfulfilled wish of Lian Zheng to destroy Ji has once again revealed a little light. He wanted to rebuild the friendship with Ji Hu and Qi and Zheng in the Zhuang Gong era. So he drafted the national letter by hand, and the book was full of praise for Ji Hu. However, before the letter of state reached Ji Hu's hands, Zheng Guo had a coup d'état. Ji Tu drove Ji Hu away. This made the little light in Qi Gonggong's heart completely extinguished.

I always remember the love and merit of Ji Hu, the son of Zheng Guo, who assisted in defeating Rong Di, and was grateful to Ji Hu, and Qi Qigong secretly felt that Zheng Zhao was unfair. Regarding Zheng Guo's political situation, Qi Qigong's heart is biased towards the side of the prince Ji Hu. Hearing that Zheng Guo abolished the position of monarch and set up Ji Tu instead, Qi Jiaogong was very entangled in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The name of Ji Hu is the son of the world is justified, and your Song Kingdom inserted a knife horizontally, and was stunned to abolish Ji Hu and set up Ji Tu, which in itself is a deposition to abolish the throne and do a usurpation, and the name is not right.

Qi Yi was in a quandangle, and someone came to report that the envoy of Zheng Guo sent by Zheng Ligong had arrived.

Qi Jiaogong thought to himself: It just depends on what he says. So he ordered a summons.

This is a carefully selected envoy who studied the customs and landforms of the Qi country before coming. After meeting Qi Qigong, he finished saluting. first praised the rich life of the people of Qi who felt along the way, and then praised how the prince Jiang Shang made hummer contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then praised how Qi He could be called a big country in the Central Plains. Qi Jiaogong had already heard impatiently.

Qi Jiaogong interrupted the words of Zheng Guo's envoy and asked, "First of all, you tell me that Ji Hu has just ascended the throne, and the gift for the widow is still there; Why did Ji Tu become a monarch again? What is the reason for Zheng Guo's abolition? ”

Zheng Guo's envoy was very embarrassed by the question. It is said that Zheng Zhuang Gong once wanted to establish Ji Tu before he died, so he handed over the abolition of the establishment to Song Zhuang Gong. Then he talked about how the Duke of Song Zhuang sent Nangong Chang Wan Chang to Zheng to assist Ji Tu in blackmailing after he ascended the throne.

No matter how clever the messenger was, Qi Qigong could understand it. It's nothing more than you Ji Tu usurping the throne with the help of the Song Kingdom. had to let Song Zhuang Gong blackmail. Since you, Ji Tu, promised a huge bribe to let Song Guo assist him in usurping the throne, and now that the usurpation is successful, he feels that he has been blackmailed. Even if it's blackmailed, you deserve it just because you are engaged in intrigues and tricks, yin and yang! The corners of Qi Qigong's mouth showed a sneer.

Qi asked the envoy fairly and quietly: "Zheng Zhaogong's succession to the throne is from the son of the world to the monarch, and it is a matter of course. Now that Zheng Guo has abolished Zheng Zhaogong and established Zheng Ligong, what reason is there? Zheng Zhaogong has just been deposed from power, did he make any mistakes in the Zheng government? ”

Zheng Guo's envoy was stunned by the question. If you think about it carefully, Ji Hu is not at fault! It's just that there was a coup d'état when he came back from a trip to the Song Kingdom, and the envoy thought for a while, but he didn't know how to answer.

Qi Jiaogong's face changed suddenly, and he took the case. roared angrily: "The villain sacrificed his feet, and dared to cooperate with the Song State to carry out a coup d'état against Zheng Guo and usurp the throne." The widow should personally lead the army of princes, gather under the city of Xingyang, and ask him for an explanation! ”

On the spot, the Duke of Qi overturned the gifts brought by Zheng Guo's envoys and rejected the gifts sent by Zheng Guo's envoys. Gone in indignation.

The envoys sent by Zheng Guo were frightened at that time.

The envoys sent to the State of Qi had not finished talking about how the Duke of Song Zhuang was greedy, and he actually angered the Duke of Qi. did not expect Qi Jiaogong to shoot the case and leave angrily. Knowing that there was no chance to tell the story, he could only drive back to China with a gift.

After returning to China, he hurried up to report to Zheng Ligong.

At the sacrificial foot on the side, when he heard that Qi Jiaogong wanted to ask him for an explanation, he was not only shocked, but also had a chill on the back of his neck.

Zheng Ligong had just received Lu Guo's mediation information, and he was secretly happy. Immediately got Qi Jiaogong's indifference and "asking for an explanation", and couldn't help but be shocked.

He turned to the sacrificial foot and asked, "Duke Qi is blaming me for Zheng Guo's abolition of the new monarch of Zhao Gong. If he really led a large army to fight, wouldn't it be a disaster for Zheng Guo! What should the widow do? ”

The sacrificial foot is also undecided. Because Qi Jiaogong wanted to ask him for an explanation. Seeing Zheng Ligong asking himself, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand and said, "The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." The ministers asked to dispatch troops, prepare troop vehicles and weapons, and make preparations before the battle. ”

"If the prince of Qi led the army of the united princes to crusade?" Zheng Ligong beat a drum in his heart, realizing that what should we do if we can't defeat the coalition forces of Qi State!

"He Qi Gong really came to challenge us Zheng Guo to fight, what are you afraid of?"

It is also helpless to sacrifice the foot, we give gifts to others, and we hope to use the mediation relationship of the Qi State, but the result is counterproductive. What can be done, you can only rely on your own strength to defend yourself.

The sacrificial foot is like a stone on the heart. He sorted out his thoughts: he understood why Qi Guo was so disgusted with Ji Tu's accession to the throne, which showed that Qi Guo still remembered Ji Hu's help to Qi Farong. It was a loss that Ji Hu refused to marry back then, otherwise, the Song State would have planned this political affair and would have caused the Qi State to send troops immediately. Of course, Ji Hu's misfortune also lies in this. There is no marriage to a large country in the Central Plains like Qi State. Marriage Chen Guo, a small country, can't turn over the big waves after all. At this moment, the sacrifice is not only regretful for Ji Hu's original decision, but also glad for Ji Hu's choice. If it is Ji Hu and Qi State marriage, at this time, Qi State will attack, and I am afraid that the head on my own will not be guaranteed.

Duke Lu Huan sent his envoy Ji Rou to the Song Kingdom to meet with the Duke of Song Zhuang.

Song Zhuanggong met with Ji Rou and listened to Ji Rou's explanation. Since Ji Rou only said that the monarch of Lu Guoguo wanted to meet with Song Zhuang Gong, as for the content of the meeting, he did not elaborate, Song Zhuang Gong readily agreed.

"Since the monarch of Lu has a promise, the widow should go to the border of Lu in person, how dare the monarch of Lao Lu go farther!"

Song Zhuang Gongshang remembered that he and Lu Huan belonged to the junior generation of the Four Nations Alliance, and now they are sitting in the country, renewing friendship, deepening the relationship between the two countries, and joining hands in the Central Plains.

Song Zhuanggong warmly entertained Ji Rou, and repeatedly said that he would live up to Lu Huangong's good intentions and go to the appointment on time. Ji Rou returned to Lu smoothly and returned to Lu Huan.

Autumn 698 BC. Duke Zhuang of Song and Duke Lu Huan met at Fuzhong on the border of Lu Song.

After the two met and saluted, they each described the state affairs and family affairs after the four national alliances, and they had a special intimacy. After the greetings, Lu Huan went straight to the point.

"I invite Shangjun to come here to talk about it, because I am entrusted by Zheng Guo. Shangjun supported Ji Tu to complete the great cause of enthronement, Ji Tu was grateful, and he was also actively repaying Shangjun. It's just that things can't be done, and love and righteousness can always be there. ”

Lu Huangong expressed his intention to intercede for Zheng Guo, and asked Song Zhuang Gong to think about it in the long run and treat Zheng leniently.

Song Zhuang Gong understood the meaning of Lu Huangong's meeting, and his voice became impassioned, he said: "Ji Tu is deeply favored by the widow!" At the beginning, he was like a chicken egg, the widow took care of him under his wings, and the reward he promised at the beginning was also from his own heart. I have evidence here. Now that he has returned to the country and successfully sought a position, he turned his face and denied his original promise. How can a widow tolerate a lover! ”

"Song Guo's favor to Ji Tu, how can Ji Tu forget? But considering that Ji Tu had just succeeded to the throne, the treasury was empty, and he did not fulfill the contract for a while. But sooner or later, he will have to pay it back, and he will not fail to live up to his own promises. Just be a little more tolerant, and the widow can be a guarantor for it. ”

"If we talk about gold and jade, we can use the lack of treasury as an excuse. And the delivery of the three cities, for him, the monarch, can be done in just three words, so why delay? ”

When Duke Lu Huan saw that Duke Song Zhuang was unrelenting, he sighed deeply and said, "As the king of a country, Ji Tu is also a person who wants to be faced. He was afraid that he would be laughed at by the princes of the countries and cursed by the people of Zheng for losing his ancestral business, so he was willing to pay taxes in the three cities instead of delivery. The widow heard that Zheng Guo had paid 10,000 bells of corn to Song Guo, but was it true? Lu Huan Gong deliberately reminded Song Zhuang Gong.

"Those grains turned out to be one of Ji Tu's promises, and they had nothing to do with the delivery of the three cities. Moreover, less than half of the promises he made were sent to the Song Kingdom. Without waiting for anything, he changed his face and didn't want to fulfill his promise, what hope did the widow have? It seems that only you, Lu Huangong, can help the widow to claim back the rest of his Ji Tu's promises! ”

Lu Huan Gong thought that with his prestige and personal relationship with Song Zhuang Gong, he would mediate it, and Song Zhuang Gong would give him a favor. At least it can give a face and ask for less. In this way, I can give an explanation to Zheng Guo. I don't think that this Song Zhuang Gong only recognizes interests and does not recognize human feelings. Lu Huangong found that not only did he fail to be advised, but was restrained by his Song Zhuang Gong. The inner boss is not happy.

The two kings could not discuss the key issues, so they had to be separated abruptly. The spring breeze on the face when they met turned into a mutual indifferent farewell.

Zheng Ligong learned that Lu Huan Gong set out on an expedition but failed. Unresolved Song Zhuanggong's continued extortion. Lu Huangong still didn't want to give up this life-saving straw, so he thought of a way to continue to let Lu Huangong mediate for him.

Zheng Ligong discussed with Saizu and decided to send the doctor Yongjie to bring Shang Yiding, who was given to Zheng by the Governor of Hua, to Lu State. At the same time, he also brought heavy gifts to express his gratitude to Lu Huan Gong for his help.

Yongjie visited Lu Huangong, put Shang Yiding in front of Lu Huangong, and said to Lu Huangong: "This is the old gift given to Zheng Guo by the Song State back then, and now the monarch of Zheng Guo does not dare to stay without permission, and begs the Emperor to return the Song State on behalf of the Song State to the delivery of the three cities." And attached thirty pairs of white walls, two thousand gold eridium, please help the prince and marquis to mediate. ”

Lu Huan Gong was still young, and he saw that Zheng Guo trusted himself repeatedly. Although he knew that Song Zhuang Gong was not good at talking, he had to reluctantly agree. This time, with Shang Yiding, Lu Huan Gong seems to have the initiative.

So Lu Huan sent someone to meet Song Zhuang Gong in Guqiu.

Song Zhuang Gong received Lu Huangong's invitation and did not refuse.

Gu Qiu belonged to the Lu country, and Lu Huan Gong was the master this time, and enthusiastically arranged food and accommodation for Song Zhuang Gong and his party. and set up a banquet to entertain Song Zhuang Gong, hoping that this time Song Zhuang Gong can give himself a little face. The two first greeted Zheng Guo and didn't talk about Zheng Guo, pushed each other's glasses, and the wine went to the third round, and their faces were wine-colored.

Lu Huangong felt that it was an opportunity to speak. On behalf of Zheng Ligong, he expressed uneasiness to Song Zhuang Gong. Then the white wall and gold transferred by Zheng Ligong were transferred to Song Zhuang Gong.

Lu Huan Gong explained very seriously: "Jun said that half of Ji Tu's promise was not fulfilled. The widow has condemned Ji Tu's behavior, and Ji Tu has tried his best to cash in some of the treasury, please accept it. ”

Song Zhuang Gong accepted it and asked the people around him to move away, but he didn't thank him. But he asked, "Then when will the three cities be delivered?" ”

Lu Huan Gong said unhurriedly: "Ji Tunian Zheng Guo's ancestors have been together for generations, and he does not dare to abandon his own territory with personal favor. Now that you are offering a thing, can you resist the three cities? ”

Lu Huangong glanced at him, and raised the thing wrapped in yellow brocade left and right, and knelt in front of Song Zhuang Gong.

When Song Zhuanggong heard the word "private favor", his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was already a little unhappy.

Waiting for the subordinates to open the baggage and watch carefully, the Songzhuang public horse recognized it as Shang Yiding of the Song Kingdom. This kind of tripod is unique to the Song Kingdom, and it is given to other countries as a noble gift. When his son Feng ascended the throne, Hua Du used this tripod as a heavy gift to Zheng Zhuang Gong to express his gratitude to Zheng Zhuang Gong for accepting his son Feng and acknowledging his accession to the throne.

Seeing this ding, Song Zhuanggong's face changed suddenly. However, Song Zhuang Gong still tried his best to hide himself, pretending not to know, and asked Lu Huan Gong: "What is this?" ”

Lu Huan Gong is disgusting in his heart! However, since Song Zhuang asked, it was not good for him not to answer. So Lu Huan Gong said: "This is a treasure of your country, hasn't the king of a country ever known it?" Zheng Xianjun Zhuang Gong returned to China to succeed to the throne in every way, and was given a heavy weapon by your country, and it was hidden as a world treasure. Now Zheng Ligong knows that Jun's kindness is deep and he does not dare to bear it, and he will return to your country from the hands of widows. I hope that you can remember the feelings of Zheng Guo and the ancestors of Zheng Guo in the past, so as not to hand over the three cities. What do you think? ”

When Song Zhuang Gong saw the old thing, he didn't feel that his cheeks were red. After a little calm, Song Zhuang Gong responded with an attitude of not admitting his account: "The widow doesn't remember the past, and when the widow returns to China, you can ask if the Taishi of Song Guo is true." ”

Song Zhuang Gong left such words, which can be regarded as an explanation to Lu Huan Gong.

In fact, in Song Zhuanggong's heart, he did not tolerate Zheng Guo because of Lu Huangong's intervention, and even after recovering Shang Yiding, he still refused to give up.

After Song Zhuang returned to China, he still continued to send people to urge Zheng Guo to hand over the three cities, and the rest to pay for property. Zheng Guo had no choice but to send someone to ask Lu Huan Gong again.

Lu Huan Gong did not reply on the grounds that he did not know whether he wanted to go back to ask Shang Yiding about the authenticity of the last Song Zhuang Gong, and he thought that maybe he Song Zhuang Gong could make a decision, but he did not expect to return him Song Zhuang Gong Shang Yi Ding, but he still did not give up. Lu Huangong always felt that Zheng Guo's behavior should be able to influence Song Zhuang Gong. So he asked Song Zhuang Gong to meet in the land of the Void Turtle, hoping to solve Zheng Guo's matter.

However, what Lu Zhuanggong didn't expect was that this time Song Zhuanggong refused to meet with Lu Huan. When Lu Huan's men arrived at the Void Turtle. Duke Song Zhuang didn't come for a long time, but took a messenger to see Duke Lu Huan.

Song Zhuanggong's messenger told Lu Huan Gong: "The lord only asked Zai Xia to convey one sentence: The affairs of Song and Zheng have their own agreements between the two parties in the past, and you don't have to participate in them. ”

Lu Huangong was angered by Song Zhuang's behavior this time.

"Such a horseman! Greedy and untrustworthy, let alone humane, Zheng Guo prayed like this, but he was indifferent. How can such a greedy and miserly person be a king? Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

"Smack!" Lu Huan was angry and shot the case. scolded Song Zhuang Gong for being inferior to a brute! He wants to unite with Zheng Guo to crusade against Song Zhuang Gong!

Lu Huan ordered his convoy to turn around and run directly to Zheng Guo.

Duke Lu Huan and Duke Zheng Li met in the land of Zheng Guo's martial father. The two met and shared the same hatred, and each recounted the injustice of Song Zhuanggong. I can't help but get more and more angry, in the face of such an unkind and unrighteous king, the two monarchs decided to attack the Song Dynasty after condemnation.

Lu Huan said: "Countries treat each other with courtesy, and each is good; Treat each other with evil, then see each other with soldiers. Could it be that Zheng Guo is still afraid that he Song Guo will not succeed? ”

Lu Huangong's words were in the hands of Zheng Ligong, such a protracted debt collection had forced Zheng Ligong and the sacrificial foot to a desperate situation, and it was really difficult to deal with the hardships of Song Zhuang Gong without sending troops. But with the strength of Zheng Guo alone, it is difficult to win. With the support of Lu Guo, Zheng Ligong's courage is greater. So the kings of the two countries agreed on the date and place of sending troops, and Zheng and Lu wanted to join forces to crusade against the Song State.

Song Zhuang Gong heard that Lu Huan Gong was angry, and knew that he had not handled the relationship with Lu Huan Gong well, and it was unlikely that he would repair it again. Now that the Zhenglu coalition army is coming, the momentum is not small, and the kings of the two countries are angry with him Song Zhuang Gong. If it is a Zheng State, he Song Zhuang Gong can fight to the death with equal strength. But now that Zheng Lu is joining forces, in contrast, Song Guo will fall into a situation of being passively beaten. Song Zhuang Gong only realized at this time that his slow treatment of Lu Huan Gong was tantamount to making a big mistake with his own hands.

At present, how can we deal with the Zhenglu coalition army? Song Zhuang Gong thought of Qi Gong. Because he learned that Qi Gong still recognized Ji Hu and refused to accept Ji Tu's politics, this was an opportunity that he could take advantage of. Duke Song Zhuang hoped that Duke Qi would not recognize that Ji Tu could join forces with Qi to crack the crusade of the combined forces of Lu and Zheng.

The Duke of Song Zhuang sent his son Yu to say that Qi was often a lobbyist before he spoke.

Over the years, Duke Qi has been paying attention to and managing the situation in the Central Plains, one is to see the decline of the Zhou royal family gradually forming, and the other is to borrow the power of Zheng Zhuanggong, the small overlord of the Central Plains, to achieve revenge. It's just that his goal has not yet been achieved, but Zheng Zhuanggong has died in the world. After losing Zheng Zhuanggong, Qi Gong pinned his hopes on Ji Hu, and saw that Ji Hu couldn't hold his own position. At this time, Qi Jiaogong had lost hope in Zheng Guo. Although Qi Jiaogong claimed in front of Zheng Guo's envoys that he wanted to crusade against Zheng Guo, he asked for an explanation from Saizu. But I feel that this kind of thing is not worth the loss. His revenge plan has not yet been realized, but it will cause a lot of trouble, so why bother! It can only be the long-cherished wish of the ancestors who delayed the revenge of the eradication.

Therefore, Qi Jiaogong made a big plan, he wanted to send envoys to start lobbying for a joint crusade against Ji Guo. Having lost Zheng Guo, the forces he could fight for were Wei Guo and Yan Guo and Song Guo.

Just when the Duke of Qi was accumulating strength and preparing to crusade against the Ji Kingdom, the prince of the Song State came to the Qi Kingdom. Qi Gong thought that Qi Guo was also trying to persuade Song Guo to support his revenge, so he agreed to summon Yu Shuo.

This royal legend is also Zi Feng's half-brother. Zifeng became a doctor in the DPRK and China, and this time he came to lobby Qi Jiaogong, which was related to the safety of the Song Dynasty, so he also tried his best to mobilize Qi Jiaogong to send troops to rescue.

After meeting with the Duke of Qi, the royal saying began to tell that Ji Tu was untrustworthy and ungrateful, and now not only could not fulfill his promise, but the mercenaries attacked the Song Dynasty. Its sins are so heinous that they are too numerous to write about, and so on.

Qi Yigong just smiled contemptuously.

"It was you, Song Zhuang Gong, who supported Ji Tu and subverted the Zheng dynasty. Why do you blame Ji Tu now? ”

The royal saying has long been expected of Qi Gong's words. Then he said: "I, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, only thought of Ji Tu as the nephew of the Yong family, but I didn't know that this person was stubborn, untrustworthy and virtuous, and now he has deep regret. I, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, hope to join forces with Qi Jun to help Ji Hu to restore the country, and reproduce the good of the Three Kingdoms back then. ”

Yu said this sentence, but it aroused Qi Yigong's concern. He said to the princess: "Zheng Guoji suddenly stood up as a brother, and the widow hates this kind of immoral behavior. But the widow wants to crusade against Ji Guo, and he doesn't have the heart to care about these things. Unless Song Guoken is willing to help the widow crusade against Ji Guo, the widow can help Song and Zheng if Ji Guo wins. ”

Yu Shuo put a lot of thought into it, and the things listed were all regardless of its pain and itch, and it did not impress Qi Jiaogong. Qi Jiaogong was bent on crusading against Ji Guo, and he no longer had the heart to pay attention to Zheng Guo. His Song State's urgency is a trivial matter compared to Qi State's revenge plan.

Yu said that he had no choice but to resign from the Duke of Qi and return to China to report to the Duke of Song Zhuang.

Parting with the Duke of Qi, he asked the Emperor to send a message to the Duke of Songzhuang: "I hope that the Duke of Songzhuang can help the Qi State to conquer the discipline and maintain the alliance relationship between the two countries." ”

Yu said that he returned to China and reported to Song Zhuang Gong the attitude of Qi Gong, and took Song Guo's aid to Song Vaji as a condition for supporting Song Guo, which made Song Zhuang Gong disheartened.

At this time, the combined forces of Lu and Zheng had gathered on the border of the Song State.

The officials of the Song State came to report in a hurry: "The combined forces of Lu and Zheng have come to invade the border of our Song State, and their edges are very sharp, and the army has approached Suiyang City. ”

Song Zhuang Gong was taken aback, and hurriedly summoned all the doctors to discuss the strategy of meeting the enemy

Yu said: "The Zheng and Lu armies are violent, and there is a reason for it. It was my Song State who coveted Zheng Ligong's light promise and asked for bribes, and Lu Huangong should give Lu Huangong's face when he came forward, so it caused the two countries to work together to defeat the Song Dynasty. Since we know the reason for their troops, it is better to seek peace, negotiate the conditions and ignore the rest of Zheng Guo's property, and it is the best policy to stop the army and stop the war. ”

Nangong Changwan said: "When Lu Zheng's soldiers arrived at the city, they made peace without sending troops to meet the enemy, which is to show their cowardice to others." If this continues, how can the Song State stand on its own in the Central Plains? ”

Xiangguo Huadu said: "What Changwan said is reasonable. Since the two countries are coming to crusade, our Song State must face the battle and see that the situation after the war is decided. ”

Song Zhuang decided to face the battle, and ordered Nangong Changwan to be the general, and he was the vanguard, and he took 200 rides. Fight against the combined army of Zheng and Lu.

Two lines up. Lu Huangong and Zheng Ligong drove out side by side and stopped in front of the formation. Lu Huan Gong was indignant, and singled out Song Zhuang Gong to answer. Song Zhuang Gong was worried and guilty in his heart, and no matter how Lu Huangong provoked, he would not come forward.

Nangong Changwan saw the two embroidered covers fluttering from afar, and knew that they were the kings of the two countries. So he said to Mengyu, "Do you see the two chariots with embroidered covers fluttering?" That is Zheng Guojun and Lu Guojun, if you don't use your prestige to build up your achievements today, when will you wait? ”

Fiercely received the order, spear in hand, and the chariot went straight forward. Seeing the ferocity, the monarchs of Lu and Zheng took a step back from the car, and hugged out two generals left and right. Asked his name first, Meng Shu replied: "The pioneer of the Song Kingdom won fiercely." ”

Yuan Fan sneered: "Nobody, don't defile my sword and axe, and your family will fight to the death in the future." ”

Furious, he raised his spear and stabbed Yuan Fan. The original slashing knife engaged. Ji Ji instructed the royal guards under him and urged the car to come to help in the battle. Fiercely won the battle of the second general, without fear. Fight with your spear.

Lu generals Qin Yu and Liang Zi, Zheng general Tan Bo, and killed the generals together.

The strength is great, and the fight is hard, but the enemy is outnumbered, and gradually the strength can not be held. was shot in the right arm by Liang Zi with an arrow, and he couldn't be killed with a spear. The Lu army swarmed up, and Meng was tied.

Nangong Changwan learned that the pioneer Meng was captured, and thought: If you don't recapture Mengyu, what face will you have to return to the city.

However, Nangong Changwan is a battle-hardened general, he knows that the enemy can only be defeated by hard fighting, so Nangong Changwan, who has his own tactics, ordered his own brother Nangong Niu to lead thirty chariots to battle and whispered to him: "You can only feign defeat and deceit defeat when you lead the army to meet the battle, and lure the enemy army to chase to the West Gate, and then I have my own way." ”

Nangong Niu came out in response, and scolded with a halberd: "Ji Tu, you treacherous thief, why don't you come and send him to death!" ”

Zheng Jiang rode out of the battle, and when he saw that Nangong Niu was young, he waved his knife to fight him.

Just three rounds, Nangong Niu was defeated and returned to the car and left. Zheng was willing to let go of the bicycle, and then chased and killed. Approaching the west gate, the cannon roared, and Nangong Changwan suddenly intercepted it from behind. Nangong Niu returned to the car and attacked twice. Zheng Jiang fired several arrows in a row, but he couldn't shoot Nangong Niu, he was flustered, and he was about to escape, but Nangong Changwan jumped into the car and was caught.

Zheng General Yuanfan learned that the battalion was going to the enemy by bicycle, and he was afraid that he would lose, so he and Tan Bo led the army to chase after him. Chasing to Suiyang City, I saw that the city gate was wide open, and Hua Du led his army out of the city to meet the enemy.

Here, General Lu Ji also led the army to chase after him to help in the war. Each of the two holds the torch, kills a melee, and kills until the rooster crows.

The Song soldiers suffered a lot of losses. Nangong Chang Wan Yin captured Zheng Jiang's bicycle and had a bottom in his heart. Please order the Song Zhuang Gong to send an envoy willing to exchange Zheng's bicycle for a fierce victory. Duke Song Zhuang agreed to Nangong Changwan's request. The Song envoy went to Zhengying; Explain the exchange of their respective generals.

Zheng Ligong agreed, and each pushed the sill car out of front of the formation and exchanged them with each other. Zheng will return to Zheng Ying, and the fierce will return to Song Cheng.

The armies of the two armies were reconciled with a truce.
