Section 556 The alliance under the city
At the beginning, Beirong harassed the Qi State many times, making it tired, and the princes rescued the Qi State, and the son of the Zheng State suddenly had merit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe people of Qi gave food to the armies of the princes, and let the Lu state determine the order of the feeds. Lu Guo ranked Zheng Guo behind in the order of the Zhou Dynasty's knighthood. Zheng Guoren was angry and begged Qi to send troops. The Qi people led the patriotic army to help Zheng Guo, so the "Spring and Autumn Period" does not call this war an invasion. The first record of Qi and Wei was in the order of the Zhou Dynasty.
(11) The eleventh year of Huan Gong
In the spring of the eleventh year, the states of Qi, Wei, Zheng, and Song held an alliance in Evil Cao.
The state of Chu intended to form an alliance with the two countries. The army of the Yun people was stationed in Pusao, preparing to pay tribute to the Chu army along with the four states of Sui, Jiao, Zhou, and Liǎo. Mo Ao was worried about this. 鬬 (dou) Lian said: The army of Yun is stationed in their suburbs, and there must be a lack of vigilance, and they look forward to the arrival of the army of the four countries every day. You are stationed in the suburbs to defend against these four countries, and we attack Yun at night with our elite troops. Yun Guo was bent on looking forward to the army of the four countries, and relying on the fortification of the city, no one had the will to fight anymore. If the Yun army is defeated, the four kingdoms will definitely be scattered.
Mo Ao said: Why don't you ask the king for more troops? Hu Lian replied: The victory of the army lies in unity, not in the number of people, and the Shang Dynasty is no match for the Zhou Dynasty, as you know. If you put out an army and send troops, what kind of troops will you increase? Mo Ao said: Divination? He replied: "Divination is to decide doubts, and if there is no doubt, why divination?" So he defeated the Yun army in Pusao, and finally made an alliance with the two countries and returned to China.
When Zheng Zhaogong defeated Beirong, Qi Hou planned to marry his daughter to him, and Zhaogong thanked him. The priest said, "You must marry her." There are many concubines in the monarchy, and you will not be able to inherit the throne without strong foreign help. The other three princes may all be kings. Zhao Gong disagreed.
In the summer, Zheng Zhuanggong died.
At the beginning, Zhongzu, the person who sacrificed the land, was favored by Zheng Zhuanggong, and Zhuang Gong appointed him as a secretary. Sai Zhong married Deng Man for Zhuang Gong and gave birth to Zhao Gong. Therefore he was made king. The Yong family of the Song Kingdom married his daughter to Zheng Zhuanggong, named Yongyao, and gave birth to Li Gong. Yongshi was respected by people and favored by Song Zhuang Gong, so he tricked the priest and arrested him, saying: If you don't become the king, there will be no life for you. Yongshi also arrested Li Gong and asked for money. Sai Zhong formed an alliance with the Song people to let Li Gong return to the country and make him the king.
In the autumn, on September 13, Zheng Zhaogong fled to Weiguo. On the 25th, Zheng Li became the monarch.
(12) The twelfth year of the reign of Duke Huan
In the twelfth year, in the summer, Lu Huan Gong and Qi Hou and Ju Zi met in Quchi, which was to make peace between Qi and Ju.
Prime Minister Huan made peace with Song Guo and Zheng Guo. In the autumn, the Duke of Huan and the Duke of Song Zhuang met in the hill of the desecration. Because I don't know whether the Song State is sincere in discussing peace, I met again in the void; In winter, we meet again in the turtle land. Duke Song refused to negotiate peace, so Duke Huan and Duke Zheng Li made friends with their martial father, and after the alliance, they led an army to attack the Song State. The reason for speaking out about this war is because the Song State is not trustworthy. The gentleman said: If you don't talk about credit repeatedly, there is no benefit in becoming an ally, and the "Book of Songs" says: The gentleman has made friends many times, but it has made **** chaos grow. It's because there's no credit.
The state of Chu attacked the state of Jiao, and the army was stationed at the south gate. Mo Ao Qu said: The country is small and people are frivolous, and frivolity lacks ideas. Do not guard the wood-cutters, and deceive them with this. The king of Chu listened to Qu Fang's advice. The Winch captured thirty woodcutters. The next day, the Hangan army fought out of the city and drove the woodcutters of the Chu State into the mountains. The Chu army sat and waited at the north gate, and at the same time set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain, defeated the Hangan army, and forced the Hangan State to enter into an alliance under the city and return to China.
In this campaign to attack the state of Hang, the Chu army divided its forces to cross Pengshui. Luo Guo prepared to attack the Chu army, sent Bojia to investigate, and counted the number of the Chu army three times.
(13) The thirteenth year of Duke Huan
In the spring of the thirteenth year, Qu Bian of the Chu State attacked the Luo State, and Wu Bobi saw him off. When he returned, he said to his emperor: Mo Ao must fail. Raising his feet high when he walks is a sign that his mind is unstable.
So he went to see King Wu of Chu and said: You must send more troops! King Chu Wu refused, and went back to the palace to tell his wife Deng Man. Deng Man said: The meaning of the doctor is not the number of people, but that the king should calm the people with integrity, admonish the officials with virtue and righteousness, and use criminal law to make Mo Ao afraid. Mo Ao was already satisfied with Pu Sao's exploits this time, he would be self-righteous and would inevitably despise Luo Guo. If the king does not control it, does it mean that he does not take precautions? What Burbius said was to ask the king to admonish the people and appease them properly, to gather the officials and encourage them to be virtuous, and to see Mo Ao and tell him that Heaven would not forgive him for his wrongs.
If this is not the case, doesn't Doctor Wei know that the Chu State army has all set off? The king of Chu sent Lai Guoren to chase after Qu Bian, but did not catch up.
Mo Ao sent people to announce in the army: Those who dare to admonish will be punished! Arriving at Yanshui, the Chu army was in chaos due to the crossing of the river. The whole army was disorganized, disorderly, and undefended. Arriving at Luo, the armies of Luo and Lu Rong attacked the Chu army from both sides and defeated the Chu army. Mo Ao hanged himself in the barren valley, and the other generals were imprisoned in Yefu, awaiting punishment. King Chu Wu said: This is my sin. The generals were pardoned.
The Song State repeatedly asked Zheng Guo for money and goods, but Zheng Guo really couldn't bear it, so he led the armies of Ji and Lu to fight with the armies of Qi, Song, Wei, and Yan. The place of the war is not recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is due to the late arrival of Duke Huan. Zheng Guo sent people to Lu Guo to ask for the restoration of the old good.
