Luoyang, a historical and cultural city with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, more than 4,000 years of city history and more than 1,500 years of capital construction history, has created countless legends of Chinese civilization. "Shannanshui north is yang", Luoyang is named because it is located in the sun of Luoshui, and the Heluo area centered on Luoyang is the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization. The ruins of the five major capitals of Xia Du, Shang Du Xi Bo, Eastern Zhou Wangcheng, Han Wei Luoyang City, and Sui and Tang Luoyang City are lined up along the Luo River, which is rare in the world. More than a hundred emperors ruled here. Today, I will talk about Ji Yi, the King of The Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Ji Yi, King of Zhou Jian (?—— 572 BC) reigned for 14 years from 585 BC to 572 BC. Ji Yi was the son of King Ding of Zhou and the 10th king of Eastern Zhou. He ascended the throne after the death of King Ding of Zhou in 586 BC. During the reign of King Jian of Zhou, the state of Wu arose and invaded the capital of the state of Chu. In September 572 BC, Ji Yi fell ill and died, and his posthumous title was King Jian. The burial place is unknown. Zi Ji was on the throne for the Zhou Ling King.
During the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the various princely states dominated the Central Plains by force, and in the period of King Jian of Zhou, they were already exhausted and tired of coping, just like the end of a strong crossbow. In the spring of the eleventh year of King Jian of Zhou (575 BC), King Gong of Chu sent Gongzi Cheng to Zheng at Wucheng (武城, in present-day northern Nanyang, Henan) to ask Zheng for peace at Ruyin Zhitian (汝郏田, in present-day Yu County, Henan Province). Zheng Guo thought twice and then defected to the State of Chu and formed the Zheng-Chu Alliance. When Jin Guo learned that Zheng Guo had rebelled against Jin and surrendered to Chu, he was extremely angry. The commander of the four armies was Luan Shu and the Chinese army Zuo Shi Xie; the upper army general Hao Xun ( Shangjun General Hao Xun , Shangjun Zuo Xun Yan ; Xia Jun general Han Jie , Xia Jun Zuo Xun Yan remained in the country; the new army general Hao Xi , the new army General Qiao Xi , the new army Zuo Xun Zhi. Zheng Chenggong, the ruler of the State of Zheng, heard the news and asked the State of Chu for help. The King of Chu led the three armies with Sima Ziwei, Ling Yin Zizhong, and Right Yin Zige, and together with the barbarian army, quickly went north to rescue Zheng Guo. The commanders of the Chu army were: the prince of the Chu Communists unified the three armies; Sima Zi rebelled against the Chinese army, Ling Yin Zizhong general left army, and right Yin Zige general right army. The Chu Communist Prince's soldier Zuo Guangpengming drove the chariot, Pan Dang was on the right; Right Guang xu yan drove the chariot, and Yang Youji was on the right. Zheng Chenggong personally led the Zheng army, Shi Shou drove the chariot, and Tang Gou was on the right.
In 575 BC, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River. In 575 BC (the eleventh year of King Jian of Zhou), in the sixth lunar month of the lunar calendar, the Jin and Chu armies met at Yanling (present-day northern Yanling County, Henan), and the Chu army wanted to make a quick decision before the combined forces of Qi, Lu, Song, and Wei who were aiding the Jin Dynasty arrived. On the morning of the 29th lunar month of the eleventh year of King Jian of Zhou (575 BC), the combined army of the State of Chu and Zheng Guo took advantage of the lack of preparation of the Jin army and used the morning fog to suddenly approach the Jin army camp. Jin Li used the method of filling wells and flat stoves to confuse the Chu army. King Gong of Chu ploughed (son of Emperor Bozong of Jin) in the Jin dynasty. After Bozong was killed in Jin, Bozhou Plough fled to the Chu state, accompanied by dazai at the time, boarded the nest car (building car) and observed the movement of the Jin army in the camp. Duke Li of Jin also ascended to the throne to observe the position of the Chu army, accompanied by Emperor Miao Ben of the Chu state (the son of The Chu state ling Yin Doujiao). Of course, the Chu army was observing illusions. Jin Ligong sent some elite troops to attack the left and right armies of the Chu state, and then concentrated the three armies to attack the relatives of the King of Chu. The King of Chu attempted to defeat the Jin army first, but was ambushed by the Jin army. The Jin general Wei Kai shot the Chu Gong king in the eye with an arrow, forcing the Chu army to retreat. The King of Chu summoned Yang Youji and gave him two arrows to shoot At Wei. An arrow from Yang Yuji hit Wei Kun in the neck, and Wei Kun fell on the hood and died. The battle lasted from dawn to darkness, the Chu prince Gongzi raft was captured, the King of Chu was also shot blind in one eye, and Zheng killed Tang Gou in order to protect Zheng Chenggong from defeat and escape, and the victory or defeat of both sides was undecided.
The King of Chu, Jin Li, agreed to fight again the next day. Jin Ligong deliberately relaxed the guards on chu prisoners of war and let them flee back to the Chu camp to report on the Jin military and the situation that the Qi, Lu, Song, and Wei forces had ambushed. When the King of Chu heard the news of the Jin army's battle, he was very surprised and quickly retreated at night. On June 30 of the same year, the Jin army triumphantly entered and occupied the Chu army camp, ate the grain left by the Chu army, and rested there for three days before triumphantly returning to the division. The Battle of Yanling ended with the victory of the Jin army.
