Luo Guo is busy dealing with the aftermath of Ji Lingjun's death, this hundred-year-old ancestor, the importance of Luo Guo is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Moreover, this old ancestor also asked to be buried in Luo's ancestral land, on the side of King Su, which involved a lot of manpower and material resources in Luo.

According to his aunt's grandmother's previous instructions, Luo Zhi began to investigate the troop movements, grain and grass situation in various countries, and then began to contact Luo's traditional ally, Qi State, to reactivate the power of the Ji Jiang Alliance and prepare to deal with the upcoming variables.

On the battlefield between Zheng and Chen, the two countries did not hold each other for more than ten months, Zheng Guo broke through Chen Guowanqiu, and wantonly rushed and killed in the territory of Chen, driving Chen's army all the way to Lucheng.

Zheng Houchan laughed and said: "Chen Guo is so unbearable, it seems that they can't wait for Chu State to come back to the country."

Such fertile land is in the hands of Chen Guo, which is an injustice from heaven.

Annexing the entire territory of the Chen State, exterminating the Chen State Office, and then contacting the Qi State to destroy the Song State, can't the Zheng State become the overlord? ”

Zheng Houchan dreamed that he already wanted to dominate.

At this time, the army of the Song State set out from Shangqiu and had already crossed the border between the Song and Chen countries, and the spies of the Zheng State naturally got the news.

Zheng Guojunchen was a little stunned by the appearance of the Song State.

The Song State is not a small country like the Chen State, the land of the Song State is very fertile, and the population is twice that of the Zheng State, "The Chen State did not look for the Chu State, but found the Song State to send troops."

Wasn't Song worried about Qi and Luo going south?

It was a bit unexpected to dare to transfer so many troops to the territory of Chen State. ”

Seeing the appearance of the Song army, Zheng Houchan was a little reluctant, and he had already rescued Zheng Ji from Wanqiu, so he wanted to return to Zheng Guozhong.

But once the war begins, it is not the will of one or two people that can stop, and if he dares to say now that he will return the land of Chen, these doctors will kill him immediately.

Unable to withdraw the army, but did not have the confidence to defeat the Song State, Zheng Chan hesitated: "The Song State is powerful, and in the Chen State, our army has no geographical advantage, if we find the Luo State to borrow troops, then the Song State will definitely retreat." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, almost all the doctors in the barracks said in unison: "No!" ”

What are you kidding, ask Luo Guo for help, Zheng Guo kept it, they were directly promoted, which is unacceptable to them.

Seeing the refusal of the ministers, Zheng Chan lamented: "Luo Guo can't, Jin Guo is naturally even more impossible, Jin Guo has become more and more rampant over the years, Ying Guo is weak, and it is not Song Chen's opponent together, who else can I find?"

Qi country? Zheng and Qi don't have much intersection, and the Qi country is erosive, so they may not be willing to send troops. ”

Guo Qing got the most benefits from the war this time, so he was naturally unwilling to give up, he rolled his eyes, and then came out and said: "Monarch, the one who can help Zheng Guo, and has the strength to help Zheng Guo, is the royal family!" ”

"The royal family?"

Everyone was stunned, the royal family has no sense of existence, the affairs of the world have always been agents between major powers, and no one pays attention to the existence of the royal family at all.

But after thinking about it, it is indeed very suitable, although the royal family is inconspicuous, but the strength is actually very good, and a big country like Jin Chu is naturally far from comparable, but it is naturally stronger than Chen Guolai.

Zheng Guo's transportation to Luoyi is also very convenient, so the royal family will send troops quickly.

And after all, the royal family is the co-lord of the world, this name is completely different, the royal family sends troops, and then unites Yingguo, so that the strength between the two sides is about the same.

The more everyone thought about it, the more appropriate it became, and Zheng Chan said excitedly: "But how to say that the royal family is going to send troops?" I'm afraid the Son of Heaven is unwilling to do anything that is not beneficial. ”

Guo Qing said with a smile: "A few years ago, the ministers went to Luoyi to pay tribute, and I knew that the Son of Heaven liked cars, horses, beautiful jade, and beautiful women, but where was the property of the royal family enough for him to squander?"

You can bribe him with these things, and then cede three cities for him, and provide him with a steady stream of taxes, so that he will definitely be able to send troops, and the ceded cities will be replenished from the Chen state.

In this way, the land of Chen Guo was used to invite the royal family to send troops, but it was Zheng Guo who benefited, is there anything more wonderful than this? ”

Zheng Guojun and his ministers laughed one after another, and the air was full of joy.

So Zheng Houchan sent an envoy from Xinzheng City to Luoyi with a large amount of goods, and here Zheng Guoxian and the combined forces of Song and Chen confronted each other.

The 100,000 army of Zheng Guo was poured out of the country, divided into several roads, the beginning and the end complemented each other, and the various roads acted according to the banner, the 100,000 army of the Song State and the 30,000 defeated army of the Chen State converged together, plus these days of continuous collection of routs, the number of people exceeded that of Zheng Guo's army.

The previous wars between Zheng and Chen did not cause great casualties, and they were basically directly defeated, and then Zheng's army looted.

The clouds of war hung over Lucheng, and the Song State tried to make a final effort, sending an envoy to the Zheng State army camp, "Zheng Hou, Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and mortals should abide by him."

Song is not willing to go to war with you, if you are willing to withdraw from Chen's lands, Song is willing to call the shots and let Chen cede the city for you. ”

Zheng Houchan asked with some smugness in his eyes: "Doctor from the Song Kingdom, if you get a wild boar from hunting, will you eat it in one day?" ”

The envoy of the Song Kingdom was a little confused, and he didn't know why Zheng Houchan suddenly asked such a question, but he still said: "The wild boar is too big to eat." ”

Zheng Houchan laughed loudly and said, "If you get a pheasant, you will definitely eat it."

The state of Chen is not a wild boar, but a pheasant, only eat a few cities, Zheng Guo is hungry, please return to the Duke of Song, withdraw from the state of Chen, the seven hundred years of friendship between the state of Zheng and the state of Song should not be destroyed because of the humble state of Chen. ”

Zheng Houchan's words are very obvious, Zheng is a big country, Chen is a small country, Zheng Guo now wants all the land owned by Chen State, and the envoys of Song State finally left here.

When Duke Song and Marquis Chen heard the news, Marquis Chen immediately scolded loudly, "The State of Chen is a marquis established seven hundred years ago, and it has only been more than five hundred years since Zheng Guo was promoted to the marquis, and he is so rebellious!" ”

Chen Hou was really afraid in his heart, so he was so hysterical, Song Gong appeased: "Chen Hou don't be so flustered, since Zheng Hou is so rebellious, then the Song and Chen coalition forces will teach him a lesson, and when Zheng Guo is defeated and cuts the land for peace, you can humiliate him." ”

The envoys of Zheng had arrived at Wangji in Luoyi, and the envoys of Luoguo were rushing to Qi on the way, and the nobles of Qi stationed on the border of Qi and Song noticed the movement of Song and reported to Linzi.

……

Zheng Ji's appearance was accidental, but due to the progress of social productive forces, the explosive growth of the population of various countries, and the inevitable annexation between countries, it is unreasonable to attribute the blame for the war to her.

But in any case, the Zheng-Chen War caused by Zheng Ji became the fuse of a series of events, completely tearing apart the real situation that Luo Guo tried to hide, and the irreparable contradictions were exposed in front of everyone in the world. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
