Hua Yuan of the Song State completed the peace negotiation between the Jin and Chu states.

In the summer and May of the twelfth year of Lu Chenggong, the scholars of the Jin State met with the sons of the Chu State, Ba and Xu Yan. On the day of marrying friends, the two sides held an oath outside the west gate of the capital of the Song Kingdom.

He said: "All the Jin and Chu kingdoms should not use force against each other, but should have the same hobbies and hatreds, and jointly rescue famines and disasters, and prevent famine and disasters." If there is anything that endangers the state of Chu, then our country will go to conquer him; For Jin

country, the state of Chu also did the same. The two sides will bring gifts to each other, and the roads along the way shall not be blocked. Plot together to deal with those who do not cooperate, and crusade against the princes who betrayed the Jin and Chu states. Whoever violates this oath will be put to death by the gods, so that his army will perish and he will no longer be able to enjoy the state. ”

Zheng Chenggong went to the Jin State to accept this oath, and met with the people who participated in the alliance meeting of the Jin and Chu Yuguo in Zoze because the Jin and Chu reached a peace agreement.

The Di people took advantage of the Jin state to hold an alliance in the Song state and invaded the Jin state, but they did not build a military defense.

Autumn.

The Jin army defeated the Di people at Jiaogang. The subordinates of the Jin State went to visit the Chu State and participated in the alliance with the Chu State.

The king of Chu Gong held a banquet to entertain him, and the son was the opposite, and built a basement in the official in advance to put the musical instruments there. When he entered the palace, a metal instrument sounded at his feet, and he retreated in a panic.

Zi Yan said, "It is almost noon, and our king has been waiting for a long time, so go in." ”

Shao Zhi said: "Your king has not forgotten the friendship between the two ancestors, and has applied this friendship to me, giving me great etiquette and adding complete music. Such a great blessing, even if the two monarchs meet, what can be used instead? I really can't accept it. ”

Zi said: "If it is a great blessing, the monarchs of the two countries meet each other, and they only use an arrow to give each other, and they still need to play music?" Our monarch has been waiting for a long time, so go in. ”

He said, "If you treat one another with an arrow, it will be the greatest calamity, and what blessing is there?" When the world is governed in peace, the princes worship and meet each other in their leisure time to complete the task of the Son of Heaven, so there is a etiquette of hospitality and banquet. Hospitality is deferential and frugal, and hospitality is a preaching of love and benevolence. Respect and frugality are used to enforce rituals, and love and favor are used to promote politics and religion. Reformation depends on rituals and laws, so that the people can rest. The hundred officials took care of things, and only went to court during the day and did not do things at night, so that the energy of the princes was used to protect his people. Therefore, the Book of Psalms says: 'The warrior who stabs the male piercing the prince is the protector of the princes.' 'In times of trouble, the princes were greedy and had no scruples about their desire to invade, and they exhausted their people for the sake of the land they had conquered, and seized his warriors by force, taking them as their henchmen, arms, and claws

Tooth. Therefore, the Book of Poetry says: 'The majestic martial artist is only the heart of the princes.' 'If there is a way under heaven, the princes will defend the people and control their hearts. The war in the world is reversed. What you say today is a practice of chaos and cannot be taken as a law. But you are the master, can my neighbor disobey you? ”

So he entered the court and finished his work.

After returning home, the neighbor talked about these situations with Tu. Shi Chang said: "If we don't pay attention to etiquette and law, we must go back on our words, and our death will not be certain one day." ”

In winter, the prince of Chu visited the Jin state and allied himself with the Jin state. In December, the Duke of Jin Li and the Prince of Chu held an alliance in Chithorn.

On the afternoon of April in the summer of the thirteenth year of Lu Chenggong, Duke Li of Jin asked Wei Xiang, the son of Wei Zhu, to write a letter to sever relations with Qin, in which he said: "In the past, we were friendly with Mu Gong of Qin, and worked together to bind them with an oath and strengthen friendly relations with intermarriage. Heaven sent disaster to the Jin State, so that Duke Wen Chong'er went to the State of Qi, and Duke Hui Yiwu went to the State of Qin. Unfortunately, he died in the world. Mu Gong did not forget the kindness of the original Jin Kingdom, so that I could continue to worship the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom. However, Hui Gong was not able to establish great achievements, but instead raised divisions in Han to fight against the Qin State. But he later regretted it in his heart, and used it to achieve our Duke Wen, which is Duke Mu who has achieved us. We, Duke Wen, personally wore armor and green, trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed dangers, and conquered the princes in the east, so that the descendants of Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou all went to the Qin Dynasty to see us, and the Duke of Wen had already reported the kindness of the Qin State to us. The people of Zheng went to provoke the guards of your frontier, and we, Duke Wen, led the princes to surround Zheng together with Qin. The doctors of the Qin State did not consult our monarch for advice, and made an alliance with the Zheng State on their own. The princes hated the Qin State very much, and wanted to attack the Qin State, but the Duke of Wen was afraid and pacified the princes, so that the Qin army could go back smoothly and did not suffer much, which is my great credit to Du Jin. Unfortunately, when Duke Wen died, Duke Mu did not do good deeds, despised our dead monarch, underestimated our Duke of Wrapping, suddenly attacked our forging land, cut off friendship with us, urged us to accept poverty and repair, destroyed our slippery country, dismantled our brother country, obstructed and disrupted our alliance, and subverted our country. But I still hope to get Mu Gong's understanding. Mu Gong did not listen to our opinions, and went with the state of Chu to seek us. But the heart of heaven obeys us, and King Chu Cheng died at this time, so Mu Gong can't get satisfaction from us. Duke Mu of Qin and Duke Bao of Jin came to the throne, and Duke Taikang and Duke Ling of Jin ascended the throne. Kang Gong was born to Mu Zhu, the daughter of Jin Xiangong, but he wanted to damage our office, subvert our country, and lead Gongzi Yong, the Zhaoren who endangered us, and used him to shake our borders, so we carried out the Linghu Campaign. Kang Gong did not change his ways, led his army into our Hequ, attacked our Liangchuan, captured the people of our Wangguan place, and captured our horses, so we carried out the Battle of Hequ. The reason why your eastern road is not open is because Kang Gong has rejected us

Our friendliness. "When you inherit the throne, I, Jun Jinggong, stretch my neck and look westward, and say, 'Hope to come and appease us.'

But instead of giving us favors to hold an alliance with us, you took advantage of the Qiu people to attack us, led the army into our counties on the banks of the Yellow River, burned our laughing land and tribes, looted and harvested the crops there, and slaughtered the people in our border areas, so we launched the Fushi Campaign to resist. You are also afraid of the continuation of the calamity, and you want to seek the blessing of the first prince and the prince of Mu, and send a chariot to order us.

Jing Gong said: 'I am friendly with you, abandon resentment, restore the friendly relationship of the past, and use it to remember the achievements of the predecessors. 'The oath issued has not yet been written, and the most common man has been born, so our monarch has held an alliance with you. Thou hast done no good deeds, and hast broken thy oath. White is with you, and he is your enemy, but he is married to us. Come and give us a command, saying, 'I will go with you against the Dites.' ’

Our monarch did not dare to take care of marriage, feared your might, and gave the officials orders to conquer the Di. But you have two attitudes towards people, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of Jin is preparing to attack you. ’

While receiving your news, the Di people hated you, so they told us this. The people of Chu hated your swaying and came to tell us: 'The Qin State betrayed the Linghu Alliance, and came to ask for an alliance with us, and sacrificed Mo here and told the Heavenly God, the Mu and Kang of Qin, and the three kings of Cheng, Mu, and Zhuang of Chu, saying: Although I have dealings with the general state, I am acting only for the sake of interests. We, the monarch, hated Thailand's unstable position of regret, so we brought it to light and used it to punish those who were not consistent. ’

The princes all heard what you said in the state of Chu

These words, I hate you to the extreme, and they are close to our Jin Kingdom. We still lead them to your commands, and you only want to be friendly with you. If you can be very considerate and take care of the princes, sympathize with us, and give us the opportunity to make an alliance, that is our wish, and let the princes withdraw their troops, where dare you seek war?

If you are not willing to give great grace, and I have no talent, then I will not be able to let the princes withdraw their troops. Make this known to those of you who are in power, so that those of you who are in power may consider what is beneficial. ”

In the thirteenth year of Lu Chenggong, Duke Qin Huan had already held an alliance with Duke Li of Jin, and attracted Di and Chu to attack Jin, so the other vassal states were all friendly with Jin and followed Jin to attack Qin.

In the Luan Shu command of the Jin State, Fei Wei was the commander; Shizan commanded the army, and the subordinate chair was the deputy commander; Han Ju commanded the army, and Zhu Yao was the deputy commander; Zhao Shu commanded the new army, and the subordinate was the deputy commander. Bu Yi is the commander of the Chinese army and driving, and Luan is the right of the car.

Meng Xianzi of Lu State said: "The generals of the Jin army are united, and this time the division will definitely make great contributions." ”

On the day of the Ding change in May, the Jin army led Zhu

Hou's army fought with the Thai army at Ma Tunnel. The Qin army was defeated and scattered, and the Jin army captured the Thai general Cheng Cha and a man named Nu Father who had the title of Female Father. Cao Xuangong led his army to fight with the Jin army and died in the army. The alliance of princes then crossed the water, attacked Hou Li and retreated, and met the Duke of Jin Li in Xinchu.

In the spring of the sixteenth year of Lu Chenggong, the king of Chu sent Gongzi Cheng from Wucheng to give Zheng Guo the land of Ruyin in order to establish an alliance with Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo betrayed the Jin State, and Zheng Guo's Zisi and the King of Chu Gong made an alliance in Wucheng.

Zheng Guo's Zihan led his troops to invade the Song State, and the Song State's generals and Le Wei led their troops to defeat the Zheng army at Goupi. The Song army retreated and was stationed in the area of Fuqu without vigilance.

The Zheng people attacked them with an ambush, defeated the Song army at Weiling, and captured the general's sister and Le Wei. This is the reason why the Song army relied on victory and slackened.

Wei Xiangong led his troops to attack Zheng again, and hit Zheng Di Mingyan because Jin asked his allies to attack Zheng first.

Jin Ligong prepares to attack Zheng Guo.

Shi said: "If our wishes are fulfilled and all the princes betray the Jin state, our sorrows will be alleviated." If only Zheng Guo betrays us, the distress of Jin Guo can come immediately. ”

The book says: "If we can't lose the princes in our generation, we must attack Zheng State." ”

The Jin state used the army. Luan Shu commanded the Chinese army, and Shishuang was the deputy commander. The commander of the department is the commander of the army, and Gou Yan is the deputy commander. Han Ju commanded the army, and Shao Zhi was the deputy commander of the new army. Xun Yao stayed in China as the deputy commander of the army.

When the ministry went to Wei Guo and then to Qi State, they all asked to send troops. Luan Lian went to Lu to ask for troops. Meng Xianzi of the Lu State said: "The Jin State can win. ”

On the day of Wuyin, the army of the Jin State set out. When Qiguo heard that the Pu army was starting to move, he sent someone to report to Chu, and Zheng Ren Nengling followed the envoy to Chugu. She decided to come and release Zheng Gu.

Sima Zi rebelled to lead Zhongcui, ordered Yan Zi to re-command the left army, and the right Yin Zihua resisted the vote Fang Chu's army passing through Zhongxian, and when Zizi went to see Zhongquan, he asked Uncle Shen: "How do you see the army?" ”

Uncle Shen replied: "Virtue, criminal law, justice, etiquette, and credit are the weapons of war. Morality is to give a favor

Criminal law is used to punish evil, goodness is used to treat gods, justice is used to create benefits, etiquette is used to straighten out current affairs, and credit is used to keep everything. The people's life is rich and sorrowful, and the Buddha will be upright, and the actions that are beneficial to the country will be in harmony with the moderation, and everything can be successful in accordance with current affairs. Up and down and dirty, around the monarch to act without disobedience, there is something to ask for will not be satisfied, can know the code of conduct. Therefore the Book of Songs says, 'There is not one of the people of Ann Liang who does not conform to your standards.' ’

In this way, God was able to give him blessings and hardships, and there were no disasters at all times, and the people had enough to live, and there was no one who did not exhaust his strength to carry out the orders of the monarch and desperately replenish the shortage of soldiers, which was the reason for the victory of the basket of war. Now the state of Chu has abandoned his people internally, and severed his friendship externally, despised the covenants established with other nations, reversed its own promises, violated the Four Seasons of Action, and labored the people to fulfill their own wishes. People don't know credit, and those who go forward and backward are sinful. People are worried to the extreme, who will send them to death? Just do your best, I can't see you again. ”

Zheng Guo's Ju'er returned to Zheng Guo first, and Yu Liu asked him about the situation of the Chu army, and he said: "The Chu army marched quickly, and when it encountered danger, the army was chaotic. If you lose your fighting spirit too quickly, you will lose your fighting spirit, and if the team is not neat, there will be no queue. If you lose your morale and have no queue, what will you use to fight? I'm afraid the Chu army is not available.

In May, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River. When the Jin army heard that the Chu army was about to arrive in Zhengguo, Tu Xing wanted to return, saying, "If we avoid the Chu army, we can alleviate our worries." It is not for us to meet and unify the princes, and leave it to those who can. If our ministers unite and serve the monarch, it is much better than meeting the princes. ”

Qin Shu said: "No. ”

In June, the Jin and Chu armies met at Poling. Shishuang still didn't want to fight. Shi said: "In the battle of Handi, Huigong did not invigorate our army; In the battle of the land, the first money cannot be returned to restore the fate; The army of the outskirts of the battle, Gou Lin

The father can no longer be with him, which is a shame for the Jin Kingdom. You have also seen the battle of the ancestors. Now that we are hiding from the Chu army, we have added to the shame. ”

Tubi said: "There is a reason why our ancestors have been defeated repeatedly. At that time, the states of Qin, Diren, Qi, and Chu were all strong, and if we did not try our best to fight, future generations would become weak. Now that the three powerhouses have been conquered by us, there is only one enemy in the Chu State. Only a saint can be free from good and bad on the outside and inside. If he wasn't a saint, there would definitely be peace on the outside and worry on the inside, so why couldn't he let Chu State go and make him a threat from the outside? ”

The first day of the month was the end of the month, and the Chu army approached the Jin army camp early in the morning. The Jin officers were all scared.

Shi Zhu's son Fan Ju hurried up to the commander and said, "Bury the well and put the stove in the morning, and set up our formation in the garrison, and widen the distance between the arrays." Jin and Chu, who wins only depends on the heavens, what's so terrible? “

The soldier wanted to pick up the north and drive him out, saying, "The survival of the country is decided by God, what do you know about your little family?" ”

Luan Shushi: "The Chu army is light and moral, we have been waiting for it to be trapped, and they will definitely retreat within three days." When we retreat, we will fight them, and we will definitely win. ”

Weak enough to say: "The Chu army has six major flaws, and we must not miss this opportunity. Their Zizhong and Zianti resented each other, the soldiers of the King of Chu were all the children of the old nobles, although the Zheng army was not neat, the Chu army was not even in battle, and the time of the array did not avoid the end of the month (the ancients believed that the end of the month was not suitable for war), the sergeants were noisy in the camp, and the camp was even more noisy when they were together. The sergeants are all looking at you

There is no fighting spirit in the back. It is not necessarily good to use the old noble children, and the end of the month marches and commits a taboo, and we must defeat them. ”

The king of Chu Gong boarded the high carriage and came to look out for the army of the Jin State. Zizhong let go to the state of Chu to be the Bozhou plough of Dazai, and served behind the king of Chu.

The king of Chu Gong said: "The military vehicles in the Jin army are galloping to the left and right, what is this for? ”

Bozhou Li replied, "This is a call for officers." ”

"The troop vehicles have all gathered to the Chinese army."

"Complicity

Discuss. ”

"The tabernacle is open." He replied, "It was a sincere divination of victory and defeat before the throne of their ancestors." ”

"The tabernacle was scattered again."

He replied, "The order is about to be issued." ”

"There was a lot of commotion in the army, and the dust was flying."

He replied, "The well was going to be buried, and the pit was bulldozed and left." ”

"The sergeants are all on the chariot, and the armed ones on the left and right of the chariot are coming down again."

He replied, "It's a command." ”

"Hit?"

He replied, "I don't know." ”

"Those who were already on the chariot came down on the left and right."

He replied, "I prayed to the spirits before the war." ”

Bozhou told the king of Chu which part of the army was the personal soldiers of Duke Jin Li. Emperor Miao Guihuang, a native of Chu who ran to the Jin Kingdom, was also by the side of the Duke of Jin Li, and also told the Duke of Jin Li which of the Chu army was the personal soldier of the King of Chu.

Miao Guihuang and Jin Li Gong both said: "Chu has a country like Bozhou Plough, and the military array is strong and cannot be resisted. ”

Emperor Miao Ben said: "The elite soldiers of the Chu State are just soldiers from the royal family in the Chinese army, please separate our elite soldiers to attack his left and right, and the rest of the soldiers who concentrate on attacking the prince of Chu will definitely defeat them." ”

Jin Li Gong let the grass be used for divination again, and after Lan Shi divined, he said: "Auspicious." The hexagram met the shock hexagram in the "Fu" hexagram below, and the kun hexagram was above.

stepped on the rhetoric and said: The Southern Kingdom Bureau chases, and the Yuan King who shoots him will shoot him in the eye. 'The state is pressing, the king is injured, what is waiting for if he does not fail?' ”

Jin Ligong followed his advice.

There was a quagmire in the camp of the Jin army, and the troops were all on the left and right to avoid the quagmire action. Bu Yi (that is, Bu Yang) is the driving car of Jin Li, and the soft wrinkle is the right side of the car. Peng's name is the king of Chu Gong, and Pan Jue is the right of the car. The head of the stone is driven by Zheng Chenggong, and Tang He is the right of the car.

Luan Shu and Shi Chang led their clan disciples to protect Jin Ligong's advance. Jin Ligong's chariot was stuck in the quagmire, and Caishu was ready to let Jin Ligong ride in his car.

His son Luan wrinkled and said, "Tushu stepped back

Go. There are major events in the country, how can you manage them alone. Besides, you are violating the authority of others, which is offensive; Losing your duty is haste; Leaving the confines of your jurisdiction, it is confusing. If you do this, you will have three kinds of sins, and these three sins cannot be committed. ”

He himself lifted Jin Ligong's ring car out of the quagmire.

On the sixth day, Pan Jue and Yangyouji, the sons of Pan Er of Chu State, put the armor on the ground and shined it, penetrating the seven layers of the armor's cowhide.

They showed it to the king of Chu Gong and said, "You have two courtiers who can do this, and why are you worried about fighting?" ”

The king of Chu Gong said angrily: "What is there to blow here. Let you shoot early tomorrow morning, and you'll die on your own B."

Brother Lu Fenmeng in the Xiang army shot the moon and hit it, and he retreated and controlled it into the mud. Ask someone to give him a dream. The person who walked said, "Shortness is the great yang; The other surnames are the moon, and the one you shoot in your dream must be the king of Chu. Shoot him, back up and down into the mud, and you'll die yourself. When it was time to fight, Lu Jing really shot the King of Chu Gong in the eye.

The king of Chu called Yang Youji, gave him two arrows, and asked him to shoot Lu Pin, Yang Youji shot at Lu and shot the bow and rode the neck, and Lu Fu died on the bow sleeve. Yang Youji handed over the remaining one to the King of Chu Gong and replied to the order.

Weak to meet the chariot of the king of Chu Gong three times, every time he saw the king of Chu Gong, he had to get out of the car, take off his helmet and move forward, and the king of Chu Gong asked the man who managed the weapons to use a bow to comfort the department.

He said: "When the war was tense, there was a man in a red yellow battle suit, and that was a gentleman. He saw me and left quickly, was he hurt? ”

When the weak king saw Xiang, he relayed to him the words of the king of the king of Chu, and the subordinates took off their helmets to accept the consolation of the king of Chu, and said: The foreign ministers of the kings of the country followed their own monarchs to the battlefield, and borrowed the majesty of your monarch to let me wear them

I dare not obey the orders of your sovereign. Tell him that I was not hurt, and that I had to thank the messenger with a bow because I was going to carry out the war. Three times he bowed down to those who came and went back.

Han Ju of the Jin Kingdom chased after Zheng Chenggong, and Du Luluo, who was driving for Han Ju, said: "Hurry up and chase him, Zheng Chenggong's driver keeps looking back, and if we don't look at his horse, we can catch up with him." ”

Han Ju said: "I can't let the king of the family be humiliated again. ”

He stopped the chase. Bu Zhi was also chasing Zheng Chenggong, and Wan Hanhu, the right man of his car, said: "Take the small road to meet him secretly, I jumped on his car and captured him." ”

The ministry said: "There is a criminal law for harming the monarch. "The chase also stopped.

Shi Shou, who drove for Zheng Chenggong, said: "Back then, Wei Yigong fought with the Di people only because he didn't take off the flag accumulation, so he failed in Rongze. ”

Zheng Chenggong put the military flag into the bow sleeve. Tang Gou said to Shi Shou: "You are by the side of the king, and the defeated should protect the monarch wholeheartedly." I am not as good as you, you let the king escape, and I will defend it. And he died in battle.

The Chu army approached the dangerous place, and Quan Shanran said to Yang Yuji: "Although the monarch has an order not to let you shoot, for the sake of the country, you must shoot." ”

Yang Youji shot arrows at the Jin army, twice at the Jin army, and killed two Jin soldiers. Shushan Ran grabbed the Jin soldiers and threw them into the Jin army, throwing them on the chariot, causing the chariot to break the crosswood. Only then did the Jin army stop the pursuit. The Jin army captured the sons of Chu.

When he came to the city, he saw Zizhong's banner and asked Jin Ligong to say: "The banner that the Chu people said is Zizhong's battle, and the other party must be Zizhong." In the past, when I went on an envoy to the state of Chu, Zizhong asked about the martial arts of the state of Jin, and I replied, 'He is good at using many people and is neat and serious. Ask me: 'What else?' ’

I said, 'Take advantage of the breaks.' 'Now that the two countries are fighting each other, and they do not send envoys to each other, they cannot be called neat and serious, and they cannot be called good at making good use of the same song if they forget what they said in the past. Please send someone to toast him on my behalf. ”

Jin Ligong agreed to him. Lai Lu sent a man with a glass full of wine, went to Zizhong's chariot, and said to Zizhong, "Our monarch lacks a messenger, and he has let Caifu drive his chariot and carry a spear, so he cannot come to the man who is with you, and send me to toast you in his place." ”

Zizhong said: "Lai Rong once talked to me in the Chu State, it must be because of this, can he still remember this?" ”

After accepting the toast, he let the messenger go back and beat the war drums. Jin Chu started fighting in the morning and did not stop until the stars appeared.

At night, the Zi of Chu ordered the officers: "Check the number of wounded soldiers, replenish the chariots and infantry, let the soldiers repair their armor and weapons, arrange the chariots and horses, ask the rooster to eat when it crows, and obey all orders." ”

The Jin army was very frightened when they got this information.

Emperor Miao Ben of Chu said to the sergeants during the inspection and inspection of the Jin army: "Check the chariots, replenish the soldiers, feed the horses, sharpen the weapons, organize the battle formation, consolidate the troops, eat enough, pray again, and fight again tomorrow." ”

Let go of the captives of the state of Chu. Let's pass the situation. When the king of Chu heard about the situation in the Jin army, he wanted to summon Zi to plan countermeasures.

Gu Yang erected wine to let Zi drink back, and Zi was drunk and couldn't go to see the King of Chu. The king of Chu said: "This is the heavens that want to make the Chu state fail, I can't wait here." ”

And he fled with his army during the night.

The Jin army entered the camp of the Chu army, carrying three days' worth of military rations. Shi Shuang stood in front of the carriage and horse of Duke Jin Li and said, "Sovereign, you are still young, and we ministers have no talent, how can we use to achieve this victory?" You should use this battle as a warning to yourself. Zhou Shu said: 'Destiny will not last long. This is a lesson to establish morality. ”

The Chu army retreated and arrived at the flawed land, and the king of Chu sent someone to say to Zi Ying: "In the war in which the dead master Ziyu destroyed the army, King Chu Cheng was not in the army. This time it's me in the army, and you're not at fault, it's all my fault. ”

The son bowed his head twice and said, "The monarch gives his courtiers death, and he will not wither when he dies." My soldiers did flee, and this defeat was my fault......"

Zizhong also sent someone to say to Zizhong: "You have also heard of the people who lost the army at the beginning

He did. Why don't you want to do it? Zi replied, "Even if it ...... Is there no such thing as the suicide of the first doctor Ziyu, doctor, you ordered me to die, do I dare not talk about faith? I have lost the king's army, and where shall I forget to die? ”

The king of Chu sent people to stop Zi anti from committing suicide, but the messenger died before Zi anti arrived.
