"Spring and Autumn" (201)
Ninth Year of The Duke of Xiang (Middle)
The 196th time, the two strong forces trained their troops and made a covenant under the city
The Duke of Qin Jing sent the Grand Master Shi Jiān (jiān Yin Yan) to request the State of Chu to attack the Jin State, and the King of Chu agreed. His disciple Nang (Gongzi Zhen) uttered a word, which showed that he knew himself and knew the other: "No. It is not yet possible to compete with the Jin Dynasty. The Jin dynasty recruits talents according to their ability, recommends those who are competent, and appoints officials with consideration. The supreme secretary of state is ceded to the good man, the doctor obeys his duties, the soldier devotes himself to education, the people do their best in farming, and the merchant and industrial soap are at ease with the profession they are engaged in. Han Yue (Han Xianzi) was old, and Zhi Yan (知武子) was in power. Fan Zhao (士匄) was young but held a position above Xun Yan and assisted the Chinese army. Han Qi was young but held a position above Luan And Shi, assisting the Shangjun. Wei Dai had many merits, but he thought that Zhao Wuxian would rather be in the auxiliary position. Junming is loyal, and the upper position is humble and the lower position is dedicated. At this time, the Jin state is invincible, and the service is just done. Please consider! The King of Chu replied, "Since I have promised that although there are differences with the Jin State, I will still send troops." ”
In the autumn, the Chu Communist King garrisoned "Wucheng" (武城, in present-day Nanyangbei, Henan) as a backup for the Qin state. The State of Qin invaded the State of Jin. The Jin dynasty was in a famine and was powerless to fight back.
In October, the twelve-nation alliance of Lu Xianggong, Jin Mourning, Song Pinggong, Wei Xianggong, Cao Chenggong, Juzi, Qiuzi, Tengzi, Xue Bo, Qi Bo, Xiao Yizi, and Qi Shiziguang gathered. On the afternoon of October 11, troops were deployed: Lu Guo ji Wuzi, Qi Guo Cui Zhu, Song Guo Emperor Yun followed the Jin state to attack the Jin state's army Zhi Yan, Shi Zhao attacked the zheng state's east gate called "Yan Gate"; Wei Guo, Cao Guo, and Yi Guo followed the Jin state to attack the Zheng state's west gate called "Division's Liang"; Teng Guo and Xue Guo followed the Jin state to attack the north gate of the Zheng state; the State of Qi and the state of Qi followed the Jin state to cut down the chestnut trees on the roadside and expand the road. On October 15, the coalition forces were stationed at the "Fenshui" (汜水, in present-day southwest of Zhongmu, Zhengzhou, Henan), and ordered the princes to: "Repair the chariots of knives, prepare enough dry food, send back the old and young soldiers, and the wounded live in the "Tiger Prison" (present-day Xingyang West, Zhengzhou, Henan), pardon the mistakes, and besiege the State of Zheng." ”
It was equivalent to announcing that he was going to fight a protracted war, and Zheng Guo was afraid and sent someone to ask for peace. Xun Yan of the Jin Dynasty (Zhongbo Xianzi) suggested: "Besiege the State of Zheng and ambush the Chu division that assists, otherwise it will not be achieved." Zhi Yan replied, "First ally with Zheng Guo, and then pretend to retreat and deceive the Chu State." Luring the Chu state to attack zheng guo, fatigue Chu shi. We divided the Fourth Army into three armies, plus the Twelve-Nation Coalition Army, and attacked the Chu Division. Gentlemen work hard, villains labor, and the first king instructs. Except for the Jin State, the rest of the Twelve-Nation Alliance did not want to fight, so Zheng Guo was allowed to say "Cheng" and "Cheng" and pay taxes.
Zhengzhuang Cemetery
On the first ten days of November, counting the State of Zheng, a total of thirteen kingdoms formed an alliance at "Drama Land" (present-day Dengfeng, Zhengzhou, Henan), and the State of Zheng returned to the State of Jin. Before the alliance, Zheng Guo's Liuqing GongziLu, Gongzi Fa, Gongzi Jia, Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Shezhi (Zi Zhan), and his masters and concubines all followed Zheng Jian Gong to participate in the alliance, which shows that he is solemn about the alliance.
The Jin dynasty scholar Zhuangzi made a letter of alliance: "Since today's alliance, if Zheng Guo does not obey the orders of the Jin state and has different aspirations, it will be such an alliance." This kind of covenant is a unilateral demand, and Zheng Guo's prince heard a quick step forward and told the reason: "Heaven sent misfortune to Zheng Guo, sandwiched between the two powerful countries. The great powers did not give friendly virtue and used the chaos of war to forcibly blackmail Zheng Guo into forming an alliance: so that zheng guo's ghosts and gods could not be sacrificed, and the people could not rest assured of the harvest, resulting in men and women being thin and weak, and having nowhere to complain. Since the alliance has been formed today, if Zheng Guo does not observe etiquette or if his strength is not enough to protect him, he still dares to have different ambitions, and so does the same. "It's a constraint on both sides. It can be seen that the alliance is a constraint on both sides, and the unilateral constraint is not a covenant, but can only be regarded as a hegemonic clause.
Jin Guo Xun Yan asked, "Revise the alliance words!" Zheng Guo Gongsun Shezhi replied, "All the gods have been informed." If it can be changed, the big powers can also rebel. Jin Guozhi said to Xun Yan privately, "We are indeed immoral, using covenants to blackmail, and not in accordance with etiquette!" Since it is not in accordance with etiquette, how can it preside over the league meeting? Temporarily form an alliance and retreat from the army, first cultivate virtue and then say, Zheng Guo will get it, why not today? If we are not virtuous, we will eventually be discarded by the people, but only by Zheng Guo? If you rest and recuperate, and distant people come and go, why should Zheng Guo come back? "In this way, after the alliance, when you return to the division, there are still good people to protect."
"Drama Land Alliance"
The coalition forces set twelve plays, strongly crushing the show force.
Only to obey the tribute tax, cultivate thugs to be happy.
Jin Chula was pulled into a battlefield, and the years only smelled the knife to drive.
Zheng Min was sad and bloody and tearful, how did he overlord Pity Yinyi?
On the third day of the first month of November in the year of the Ugly Year
