Dai Guojun Dai Shuqing regretted it a lot, you must know that Zheng Zhuanggong is so insidious that it is better to borrow the Tao to Kong Fujia, maybe he is not so greedy. When Uncle Dai Qing's father was rescued by Zheng Jun and asked to enter the city, Uncle Dai really hesitated, but he thought about it left and right. Now that the defense of the city is in danger, since the people have come to the rescue and refuse Zheng Jun to enter the city, if Zheng Jun gives up support, wouldn't it be that Kong Father Jia will conquer Daicheng? Thinking of this, Uncle Dai began to decide to open the door. At the moment when the door was opened, Uncle Dai immediately felt that he had gone over. Zheng Jun, who swarmed in, first pointed his swords, guns, swords and halberds at the ministers of the Dai State who followed him, and then Zheng Jun separated from the left and right, and a yellow covered car flashed in the middle, and Zheng Zhuang Gong came calmly. As soon as Zheng Zhuang Gong gave an order, he tied up the monarchs and ministers of the Dai court, and Uncle Dai had the ability to parry. It could only be ordered by Zheng Zhuanggong to be escorted by Zheng Jun to the city, calling on Dai Jun to lay down his arms and throw himself at Zheng Guo. In the end, Uncle Dai Qing's father thanked Zheng Zhuang Gong for sparing him from death, and then, according to Zheng Zhuang Gong's order, he took the palace family and went out of the West Gate to go to Xiqin. All this was like a nightmare for Uncle Dai's father. Not only did Dai Guo disappear from then on, but he also wandered away from home.

Therefore, the historical records record that in the tenth year of Lu Yingong, that is, in 716 BC, the Dai Kingdom disappeared.

Seeing that Gong Zheng Zhuang easily occupied Dai Cheng, Father Kong couldn't help but be indignant, raised his hand to take off his helmet and threw it on the ground, shouting hysterically: "Today, my father Kong and his Zheng Zhuang swear not to stand apart!" Heaven testifies that there is me without him, and there is him without me! ”

Seeing that Kong Zhuangjia was indignant and swore a poisonous oath, Youzai Chou stepped forward to remind Kong Fatherjia: "Zheng Zhuanggong, this old guy is resourceful and good at using soldiers, Da Sima is still sober, I guess Zheng Zhuanggong will have a plan to deal with us." If there are ambushes outside, we will be in danger if we are flanked from both sides! ”

Kong Fujia made a posture of being open-minded, snorted mockingly, and said, "Listening to Youzai's words, have you been frightened by this old guy Zheng Zhuanggong!"

Right Zai Chou said: "If Da Sima doesn't take precautions against Zheng Zhuanggong, you and I will lose very badly!" ”

As he was talking, he saw that the gate of Daicheng had been opened, and a sergeant with full armor came out of his horse, roaring, and went straight to the tent of the coalition army. It turned out that Zheng Zhuang Gong in the city gave Confucius a letter of war.

Kong Fujia was disdainful and didn't even look at it. Pick up the pen and get it: a decisive battle in the coming day.

To say that Kong Fujia is too angry. Although he has experienced Zheng Zhuanggong's cunning and fraud, it may not be too profound. He couldn't tolerate that the fruit that had already arrived was easily won by him Zheng Zhuanggong, and he couldn't let Zheng Zhuanggong feel so at ease. He wants to fight to the death and let out this evil breath in his heart.

sent off the messenger of Zheng Jun, Kong Fujia made a date with the commanders of Wei and Cai Erguo, and arranged for the three people to retreat twenty miles each. In order to prevent conflicts between them, the Song army led by Confucius Jiajia was in the center, and the Cai army and the Wei army were camped on the left and right, and the distance between them was several miles.

They set up camps and stoves, raised fires and cooked, and when the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms had eaten and rested, they had already entered the second watch. The soldiers of the three kingdoms gasped for breath, and suddenly heard a cannon sound, lanterns and torches came from the sky, and the sound of chariots, horses, and drums was deafening. Arrange for the sentry of the night guard to report: all the way Zheng Jun came to the camp from the right side.

When Kong Fujia got the report, he scolded sharply, "The chicken and dog are not as good as the people, and they have already returned to him to start a war tomorrow, so why will they come to attack at night immediately." What kind of thief is this! Then he held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand and boarded the car to prepare to meet the enemy.

Just when the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms got up and put on their armor and boarded the chariot to meet the Zheng army, they saw that the sound of the chariot stopped and the fire was extinguished. Father Kong saw that there was darkness and silence in front of him, and he couldn't find where Zheng Jun was.

Kong Fujia had a fluke in his heart, thinking that the Zheng army would not sneak attack, and originally said that he would start the war tomorrow, but it was just a false shot, so that the officers and men of the three armies could not sleep well, and they lacked fighting spirit to start the war tomorrow. Then they ordered each of them to go back to the camp to rest. The soldier had just returned to the barracks to rest, when another cannon sounded, and then the drums rang out in unison, and the fire came from the left side. When Kong Fujia came out of the camp to watch, the fire disappeared again. Then there was a burst of cannon fire on the right, and a burst of fire loomed out of the woods.

Kong Fujia thought to himself: "Zheng Zhuanggong, an old thief, has always been good at suspicious tactics. We can't see where they are, and we can't easily move them. So he gave the order: "The whole army obeys the order to send troops, and those who send troops on their own initiative will be beheaded!"

After a while, the fire on the left side rose again, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and his men reported: Cai Jun of the left camp has fought with Zheng Jun.

Kong Fatherjia ordered: "Go to Cai to rescue!" "Out of the camp gate, it should have been to the left, but the fire on the right side started again, the drum music was vibrating, and the men reported that the camp of the guards was robbed, not the Cai army. Kong Fujia was dizzy.

Father Kong scolded: "You rice buckets, you don't have to care so much, just go to the left to rescue Cai Jun." ”

Zheng Zhuanggong's ecstasy array really enigmatized Kong Fujia, and even his sergeants were dizzy. Kong gave the order to the left, but the sergeant turned the car to the right. And Song Jun followed to the right, completely unaware. Sure enough, they encountered a team of people and horses, and they fought each other for a while only to find out that they had killed their own people by mistake, because the other party was a guard. After explaining to each other, they joined forces and returned to the middle camp together according to Kong Fujia's instructions. As a result, before I arrived at the middle camp, I saw the middle camp of the Song State, where the open fire was fighting and the drums were singing, and the middle camp had been occupied by Gao Qumi, the general of Zheng Guo.

It turned out that the ecstasy array announced by Zheng Zhuang was swaying left and right and creating momentum, just to transfer Kong Fujia out of the middle camp and enter the slaughterhouse he had arranged.

Kong Father Jia hurriedly ordered to turn around and avoid Zheng Jun, but it was too late. At this time, the Song and Wei coalition forces were in one place, with the Zheng army general Ying Kao Shu on the right, the Zheng army general Gongsun Yan on the left, and the Zheng Guo general Gao Qumi in the back. The Song and Wei coalition forces were already surrounded by regiments. At this time, Kong Fujia knew how powerful Zheng Zhuanggong was. Where is the decisive battle with yourself, it is to eat you alive like a lion. The Zheng army tightened the encirclement on all sides, and the Song and Wei coalition forces broke left and suddenly, where was there a way to escape. Zheng Jun's swords, guns, swords, and halberds are everywhere, and they can only fight hard. At dawn in the east, there were few soldiers and horses left around Kong Fatherjia, and he knew that he could only annihilate the whole army if he fought again, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the sky was not bright but he could identify where the Zheng army was, and find the scarce place where the Zheng army was scarce, and fight all the way and flee for his life. As a result, Gao Qu Mikong's father Jia wanted to escape, and chased after him from behind to rob and kill. Kong Fatherjia saw the sergeants around him fall in a pool of blood one by one, and he was powerless to save him, and when he saw that there was a mountain forest in front of him, he had to abandon the car and flee. The Song army collapsed, and there were only more than 20 sergeants who followed Kong Fujia, but they finally escaped with their lives. The general of the Wei Guo is not so lucky, he led the Wei army to fight hard, where can he resist the prepared Zheng Guo's tiger and wolf army, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to escape this siege, and when he no longer has the slightest strength, he was cut off by Zheng Jun. The soldiers and chariots of the Three Kingdoms were all killed or captured by the Zheng army. The people and animal materials captured by the Three Kingdoms in the suburbs of Zhengdu returned to Zhengguo.

Zheng Zhuang Gong took Daicheng lightly, and annihilated the division of the Three Kingdoms, and the army played a triumphant song and returned with a full load.

Back in Xingyang, Zheng Zhuang had a feast and entertained the soldiers. At this time, Zheng Zhuang Gong had been fabulously praised by his subordinates. At the banquet, the generals took turns to toast and praise Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuang Gong was already a little drunk, his face was red, his ears were red, and he laughed heartily, he stood up and raised a glass of wine and poured it on the ground, and said loudly: "The widow relies on the spirit of the ancestors of heaven and earth, and with the full help of the emperors, the battle will be won, and it will be magnificent.

Zheng Zhuanggong said that "Uncle Fang", of course, the ministers here understood that since the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, the so-called "Uncle Fang" is the tribal leader second only to the Son of Heaven, not only dominating one side, but also only the brothers of the Son of Heaven can get the title of "Uncle Fang". So the ministers all shouted "Chitose", and Zheng Zhuanggong was also smug, and his heart was fluttering.

In the compliments and cheers of the ministers, Uncle Ying Kao was silent, but sighed.

Gong Zhuang Zhuang looked at Uncle Yingkao and asked, "What do you feel about?" Speak up, and listen to the widow. ”

Uncle Ying said: "The lord's words are still not accurate enough! Since ancient times, 'Fang Bo' must be ordered by the king to be the head of one of the princes, and he must have the right to crusade specially. Today, the lord pretends to use the king's order to denounce the Song State, but there are Cai Guo and Wei Guo who help the Song State, and small countries such as the Yu State and the Xu State can openly not participate. Where can I see the power of Fang Bo?"

Zheng Zhuanggong smiled: "What Aiqing said is true. did not listen to the orders of the widows, and now Cai Guo and Wei Guo are all wiped out, which is also the punishment that Cai Guo and Wei Guo deserve. Now it's the turn of the guilty Yu country and the Xu country, which of the two countries is appropriate to come first?"

Uncle Ying Kao said: "The state of Yu is adjacent to the state of Qi, and the state of Xu is adjacent to the state of Zheng. If the lord wants to liquidate his crime of disobeying orders, he can send a general to help Qi to crusade against the Yu State, and then invite the Qi army to come with him to crusade against the Xu State. If you get the state of You, you will return to Qi, and if you get the country of Xu, you will return to Zheng, so that the friendship between the two countries will not be lost. Conquered two small countries and at the same time had to report the victory to King Huan of Zhou, so that the eyes and ears of the princes of the Quartet could be covered. They all thought that I, Zheng Guo, was serving the Zhou royal family. ”

Zheng Zhuang applauded the case and said: "If it is reasonable, it will be done according to what Qing said." ”

Soon, Zheng Zhuang Gong sent envoys to contact Qi Gong to communicate about the matter of asking Yu Guo and Xu Guo for their crimes. And share the results of the battle in advance, and make it very clear. Qi Xigong happily agreed. So he sent Yi Zhongnian to lead his troops to attack the Yu State, and Zheng Guo sent the general Gongzi Ji Lu to lead the troops to help in the battle, and the two generals led the armies of the two countries to rush to the capital of the Yu State.

The country of Zhou is also a very qualified tribe, King Wu of Zhou had ten brothers of the same mother, all of whom belonged to the sons of King Wen of Zhou, of which the eldest son Bo Yi Kao and King Wu of Zhou were the second sons, and the seventh son of King Wen of Zhou was Shu Wu. Because Uncle Wu was the son-in-law of King Wen of Zhou, there was a feud before King Wu destroyed Shang, and the fief was a fief at that time, which belonged to the land within Zhougi. When King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, the state of Yu also moved eastward, and began to build the capital between Lu, Qi and Wei. It became the current state of Servant.

When the monarch of the state of Yu learned that the army of Qi and Zheng Lianghe had reached the city gate, he was extremely frightened, and he knew in his heart that with the strength of the state of You, even if he took the people of the country of Yu, he was not the opponent of the Qi army, not to mention that with another Zheng army, he had no ability to resist in the face of strength. The only choice of this monarch is to ignore the people of the city, take his family and abandon the city. This monarch of the state of Yu chose the state of Lu, which was still very beneficial for his later restoration.

Zheng Jun surrendered the city to Qi according to the prior arrangement, and Qi Gong gladly accepted the gift. However, according to the prior agreement, Yi Zhongnian led the army and his son Ji Lu to Zheng Guo to crusade against Xu Guo.

At this time, it should be said that the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Zheng Zhuang had a mutual interest relationship, and the Duke of Zheng Zhuang agreed to meet in a place called Shilai, and asked the Duke of Lu Yin of the Convention to meet together. Qi Gong immediately agreed to Zheng Zhuanggong's request.

In the summer of this year, the two monarchs of Qi and Lu Yin came to meet with Zheng Zhuang as promised, and Zheng Zhuang naturally wanted to be the guest of honor, set up a banquet to entertain the two monarchs, and the two monarchs asked for wine and talked about it, from Pangu Kaitian to Zhou Tianxia, everything.

Of course, Duke Qi was still interested in Duke Zheng Zhuang's Zhou Qingshi, so he asked Duke Zheng Zhuang: "Your monarch is a secretary in the Zhou Dynasty, and he works hard in the world, but is it hard?" ”

Lu Yingong was also very interested in this, so he said: "Yes, the Zhou royal family is in charge of the world, you are a member of the Zhou royal family, you must know a lot of information about the Zhou royal family, why don't you come and hear it?" ”

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Zheng Zhuanggong immediately sensed that the two monarchs were doubting their status as ministers. In fact, since he left the Zhou royal family, the vassal states have not seen this secretary present every year, so they should naturally be aware of it. But Zheng Zhuanggong knew that the two monarchs in front of him did not face the court and King Zhou Huan. So I have my own bottom in my heart. Zheng Zhuanggong said very confidently: "In this world, it is said that it is big and big, and it is small and small, and King Zhou Huan sits facing south, which is no different from you and me sitting on the court." To put it bluntly, you and I have our own little world. Hahahaha. ”

When Zheng Zhuanggong said this, the three monarchs all burst into laughter. Then Zheng Zhuanggong talked very seriously about some things about the court as the right-hand man of King Zhou Ping and King Zhou Huan, all of which were realistic, and had to be admired by Duke Qi and Duke Lu Yin. However, Zheng Zhuang Gong immediately restrained his smile and changed the topic and said: "However, in the past few years, the widow has been alone, and most of the affairs of Zheng Guo have been handled, and the affairs of the court have been entrusted to Duke Yu. King Huan also handed over the matter of the eastern crusade to the widows. Therefore, the two of them also cooperated with each other. ”

Zheng Zhuang Gong said that there are noses and eyes, and the two monarchs also show their loyalty.

The three monarchs were full of emotion, and they naturally fell in love. In fact, although Zheng Zhuanggong took a brilliant position for the way of heaven and acted under the pretense of King Zhou Huan, after all, there was no psychological base, and he needed the support of influential countries such as Qi and Lu, which was the hidden heart of Zheng Zhuanggong. Duke Qi and Duke Lu Yin didn't know the secrets of their hearts, or they knew that they were pretending to be the king's order, but they didn't know it, and acted according to the requirements of Zheng Zhuanggong, as if they were acting according to Zhou Tianzi's intentions, and their hearts were open and truthful. It is believed that the intention of Zheng Zhuang Gong is the intention of Zhou Tianzi, so the monarchs of Qi and Lu only wait for Zheng Zhuang Gong to issue an order and obey the king's orders. So the three of them agreed to gather at the gate of Xu Guo on the first day of the seventh month of that year, and crusaded against Xu Guo by not obeying the king's order.
