Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Jin army was stationed in Hanling, and the Qin army was stationed in Biannan. Yi Zhihu said to Zheng Wengong: The country is in danger. If Candle Zhiwu was sent to meet the Qin army, the army would inevitably retreat. Zheng Wengong adopted this suggestion, and asked Candle Zhiwu to go to see Qin Jun, and Candle Zhiwu excused himself and said: When the subordinate is young, he is not as good as others; Now I'm old and can't do anything. Zheng Wengong said: I failed to appoint you earlier, and now I am begging you in a critical situation, which is my fault. However, Zheng Guo was destroyed, and you are not good.

Candle Zhiwu agreed, and at night he used a rope to hang himself from the city to the outside of the city, and went to see Qin Mugong, saying: Qin and Jin surrounded Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo already knew that he was going to perish. If it is good for the king to destroy the kingdom of Zheng, it is worth following the king of labor. The king knew that it was not easy to cross other countries and use distant lands as frontiers, so where could he use the destruction of Zheng to increase the land of neighboring countries? The strength of the neighbor is the weakening of the king. If Zheng Guo is pardoned, and let him be the master of the eastern road, and the messengers will come and go, and provide all the things he lacks, it will not do the king any harm.

Moreover, the king once gave the king of the Jin kingdom a benefit, and he promised to give the king Jiao and Fang, cross the river in the morning and return to China, and set up a plate to build a city in the evening, which is known to the king.

The sub-prisoner requested to pursue the Qin army. Jin Wengong said: No. Without their power, we wouldn't be where we are today. Relying on the strength of others, but harming him, this is not benevolence; It would be unwise to lose the allies; Replace neatness with ****, which is not brave. I'd better go back. Duke Wen of Jin also withdrew his troops and returned to China.

At the beginning, Zheng Guo's son Lan fled to the Jin State and followed the Jin Wen Gong to attack Zheng Guo, asking not to participate in the siege of Zheng Guo. Duke Wen of Jin agreed, and asked him to wait for orders on the eastern border. Zheng Guo's Shi Jiafu and Hou Xuanduo took him back as the crown prince and made peace with the Jin State, and the Jin State allowed it.

In winter, King Xiang of Zhou sent Zhou Gongyue to Lu to ask him for a banquet of Changpu, white rice cakes, black millet cakes and tiger-shaped pieces of salt. Zhou Gongyue excused himself and said: The monarch of the country, the rule of culture is enough to show the Quartet, and martial arts can make people fearful, so he has prepared various items for banquets to symbolize his virtue; Enter the harmony of the five flavors, offer good food, and have the salt in the shape of a tiger to symbolize his deeds.
