<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="116" > Author: Idle Lesheng</h1>
In the late Spring and Autumn period, the State of Wu won a great victory in the battle for hegemony between Wu and Yue, and then repelled the State of Chu in the land of Jianghuai, becoming the undisputed hegemon south of the Yellow River, but Wu Wang Fuchai was not satisfied with this, and then he began to advance into the Shandong Peninsula to find trouble for qilu and lu. At that time, the last effective monarch of the State of Jiang, Duke Jing of Qi, died of illness after 58 years on the throne (490 BC), and his heir, Prince Di, was killed by the joint efforts of Gongzi Yangsheng and the Tian family, and Gongzi Yangsheng took the throne as the Duke of Qi. At the right time, the five major families of Tian, Gao, Guo, Bao, and Yan competed for power and profit, and the struggle reached a fever pitch, especially the most powerful Tian family, whose ambition to take the place of Qi and replace it had become semi-public; and the situation in the Lu state was even more troublesome: the three Huan dictatorships, infighting, the only sage Confucius was expelled from the Lu state, had to send people under the fence of the Wei state, in short, this is a hopeless country.
Fu Cha's ambitions began to expand endlessly, and now Qin Chu is incompetent, Chen Yue is subservient, Qilu is in chaos, Jin is fighting in the country, and I am the strongest in Wu -- such a favorable international situation is not a great opportunity for the oligarchs to encroach on Shandong and dominate the world? It seems that even the heavens want the widow to become the overlord, how can the widow be polite?
Now, let's take the weakest Lu Guo as the first to cut! The fragrant meat delivered to the door can not be spared.
In the eighth year of wu (488 BC), Fu cha received a staggering number of tributes from the state of Yue, believing that the state of Yue had completely surrendered to his feet, and without worrying, he restored 80% of the territory of the state of Yue, and assured and boldly led his army north to attack the state of Qi, and sent troops to Yiyi (present-day Zaozhuang, Shandong), summoned the Duke of Lu Ai and demanded the protection fee "Hundred Prisons".
The so-called hundred prisons refer to a hundred sets of livestock used for sacrifices or banquets, each prison is a cow, a sheep, and a pig, and the Zhou Dynasty ritual system is clearly stipulated, the twelve prisons of the Son of Heaven, the nine prisons of the Shanggong, the seven prisons of Hou Bo, and the five prisons of the sons and men. But now Wu WangFucha actually pointed out that he was asking for a hundred prisons, which was simply a lion's big mouth. Lu Guo's grand master Fu Jingbo was helpless, so he had to bargain with King Wu: "Boss, this hundred prisons are really too exaggerated, can you be less?" ”
King Wu said, "There is so much, last year the Song people also handed over so many widows." You Lu country still have more money than the Song country, how can it be less? Besides, the protection fees that you Lu Guo gave to the six secretaries of the Jin Dynasty were all more than ten prisons, is my cousin King Wu still no better than a doctor? ”
Zifu Jingbo then cried bitterly: "King, you pity us small countries!" You also know that in the Jin Dynasty, the Marquis of Jin was a decoration, and the Six Secretaries of the Jin Dynasty were the ones who could not afford to provoke, so Fan Martin, the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, came and we entertained him eleven prisons. This is already the limit, according to the weekly ritual, the upper thing is only twelve, thinking that the number of heavens is also large. Even if Zhou Tianzi was entertained, it was only twelve prisons. In this way, we will also give you twelve prisons, no more, no more than the Lord of the world, it is really not in accordance with the rules, not in accordance with the rules! ”
The husband almost did not listen, and began to play Lai: "We in the state of Wu are barbarians, we don't understand the set of Zhou Li, don't tell the widows about those who don't have it, hurry up and pay the money... Oh no, livestock! ”
This is good, Xiu cai met the soldiers, there is no reason to say clearly! No matter how well the people of the Lu country could speak the Tao, when they encountered such a rogue king as Fu Cha, they had no choice but to obediently hand over the "Hundred Prisons", lest these "barbarians" get angry and be unable to eat and walk on their own.

It seems that when the overlord is indeed a good errand with low cost and high return, the protection fee of the two countries of Song and Lu alone has two hundred pigs, cattle and sheep, plus the huge tribute of the Yue state, as well as the tribute of other small countries such as Chen Cai, I feel that the military food of the Wu people can be reimbursed on the basic road. In addition, according to the "Zuo Biography", seven years later, that is, in 481 BC, the State of Lu also claimed that its tribute to the State of Wu exceeded the amount given to the State of Jin, which was set according to the standard of the state of eight hundred military vehicles. It seems that wu guo's gains in the process of hegemony are quite considerable, at least not worse than that of Jinguo.
However, Fu Cha's good business was almost messed up by The traitorous minister bo yao of the State of Wu.
It turned out that Bo Yao saw that the Lu people were quite a bully, so he also wanted to take advantage, and wrote a letter to Ji Kangzi, the actual ruler of the Lu state, asking him to also come to Ji Yi to meet with him, ask for some benefits by the way, and make a small fortune! Bo Yao's little nine-nine, Ji Kangzi, who is well versed in the way of officialdom, can not know. However, Ji Kangzi did not want to bleed this time, Lu Guo was such a big plate, not only to pay tribute to King Wu, but also to bribe Wu Guo's minister and minister. Therefore, Ji Kangzi sent one of his cattlemen to make Bo Yao retreat.
This cattle man is very familiar to everyone, that is, Confucius's high disciple Zigong.
ZiGong, the name Duanmuci, Zigong, Weiguoren, is known for his extraordinary eloquence, and even Confucius praised him as the instrument of Hu lian, the so-called Hu Lian, that is, the ancient temple of the Sect of Ancestors held a sacrifice vessel for the gods. As the saying goes, someone can become a great instrument, and this Hulian is the great instrument of the Zongmiao Temple, the great instrument of the great instrument. More than enough to cope with Bo Zhao.
However, Bo Yao did not know the strength of Zigong, and he was furious on the spot, and wanted to come to a lower horse: "Lord Ben came from afar, but Ji Shi did not even show his face, too much to give face!" As a state of etiquette, you cannot be so unpretentious! ”
Zigong smiled and replied, "How dare you, our lord has always been very polite about weekly etiquette." It's just that we heard that you Wu Guo have cut off your hair and tattoos since your uncle, called yourself a barbarian, and never obeyed the 'Zhou Li' set. Therefore, our small country has decided to learn from your big country, and from now on we will not pay attention to any bullshit 'Weekly Ritual'! ”
Unexpectedly, Xiucai also had a rogue time, and Bo Yao had no choice but to return home with a gray face.
Ji Kangzi looked at it, the Wu people seemed to be powerful, in fact, there were many straw bags, nothing remarkable, it seemed that they did not have to be so afraid of them. Knowing this, why whisper to give them so many pigs, cattle and sheep, loss!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and decided to return the color to the State of Wu, he did not dare to directly attack the State of Wu, so he went to attack the newly adopted little brother of the State of Wu (in present-day Zoucheng, Shandong) - this is also what he wanted to do for a long time, although the State of Wu was a vassal of the State of Lu, but since he surrendered to the big tree of the State of Wu, he did not pay more and more attention to his own legitimate boss, which was really the opposite!
So in the autumn of this year (488 BC), the Lu army cut down the Qi, the soldiers came to the city, and the emperor of the State of Yi, Duke Yin, was still listening to small songs in Youzha, which was quite the style of the Famous Kong Rong of the Three Kingdoms when he met the Yellow Turban Army. Mao Yihong, the grand master of the State of Yi, hurriedly entered the advice: "Don't listen to the song, Lu Guo's soldiers have already killed outside the city gate, let's go to Wu Guo to save his life!" ”
Gong Yin said drunkenly, "Take wine as a song, life is geometric." Wu Guo is two thousand miles away, far water can not save the near thirst, the widow is better to have fun in time, tomorrow is worried about tomorrow! ”
Mao Yihong looked up at the sky and sighed, so he had to break through alone and go to the State of Wu. Not long after, the State of Lu attacked the capital of the State of Yi, and Duke Yin fled into The Mountain of Yishan (邾山镇) (邾山镇) (峄山镇) in present-day Zoucheng, where the Lu army plundered the city for a day and a night, and then invaded the Mountain of Yi and captured duke Yi and imprisoned him in Negative Feng (邾瑕, in present-day Yanzhou County, Shandong).
At the same time, Mao Yihong, the grand master of the State of Qi, had already come to the Kingdom of Wu with five horses and four pieces of cooked cowhide, and sent a "Cry of Qin Ting" to Wu Wangfu: "It doesn't matter if the Lu people bully us, but it has damaged your prestige of the Great King!" If you have no prestige, the small countries in the four sides will be in trouble, so this time please ask the king to intervene and maintain world peace! ”
Fu Cha couldn't look at Mao Yihong's little bit of shabby gifts, but Lu Guo was still obedient to himself in the summer, and he began to disobey in the autumn, which was enough, beat them!
Therefore, the following year, Wu Wang Fuchai personally led an army to directly attack the State of Lu, LiankewuCheng (southwest of present-day Fei County, Shandong), Dongyang (that is, Dongyang Town, Pingyi County, Shandong) and other important towns, the Lu generals GongBingeng, Zhu Tan, and Gongjia Shuzi were killed in battle with the car, and the Wu army continued to advance, and the garrison was on the shore of Surabaya, directly threatening the capital of the State of Lu, Qufu, and the Lu people were afraid.
Meng Yizi, one of the Three Huans of the State of Lu, said to Jing Bo, the doctor of Lu: "Wu Bing is unstoppable, why not? ”
Jing Bo replied: "What to do, cold mix!" Fight is it, think so much about what to do! Who told us to provoke this plague god! ”
Dr. Lu Weihu said, "I have an idea, take advantage of the night to rob the village!" This is called catching the thief first! As long as fu cha is assassinated, Wu Jun retreats! ”
Jing Bo said, "Assassinating King Wu is a dangerous task, maybe you have to lose your life, you have to think clearly." ”
Wei Hu revealed a mysterious smile: "Rest assured, Dr. Jing Bo, you see!" ”
Everyone is curious, what kind of medicine is sold in the micro tiger gourd?
The answer was soon revealed, and the next day, everyone found that a unique high jump competition was held on the field of the Lu Military Academy: Wei Hu selected seven hundred strong soldiers from his own personal family and asked them to jump a two-meter-high wooden fence, each with three chances, and those who could skip once could be selected, and finally selected three hundred warriors to form a death squad and practice day and night. Finally, on the night of the black wind and high killing in one month, Wei Hu was ready to lead the death squad to assassinate King Wu, and just out of the camp gate, someone said to Ji Kangzi: "The Wu army is strong, three hundred soldiers and soldiers stole the camp and robbed the village, which is equivalent to throwing themselves into the net." This move is not only harmless to Wu, but also makes so many brave and loyal good comrades to send them to death, it seems that it is not very cost-effective! ”
Ji Kangzi bear, yes, in case stealing chicken does not become a corrosion of rice, assassination does not succeed, but annoys King Wu, it will be bad. The death squad was ordered to stop advancing and return to the camp to wait.
However, Wu Wang Fucha did not know how to learn of Lu Guo's assassination plan, and he was so frightened that he was afraid to die, and he did not dare to sleep all night, and changed three places in one night.
In fact, Fu Cha this person is really quite interesting, he is so happy to do good, warlike, but he is afraid of death, he feels that lu guo's assassination troops did not come tonight, does not mean that tomorrow night will not come, rather than be afraid, it is better to reconcile with Lu guo, after all, small life is the most important.
Of course, Ji Kangzi couldn't ask for it: "Well, then let's reconcile, everything is precious." ”
Jing Bo was not happy, and felt that it was too humiliating for the State of Lu to do so: "When the King of Chuzhuang besieged the Song Dynasty, the Song Kingdom reached the point of changing sons and eating, and still refused to be an alliance under the city, not to mention that we have not suffered any losses now, why should we surrender, I do not agree!"
Ji Kangzi did not listen, face is worth a few dollars, the safety of Lord Ben first.
Jing Bo had no choice but to take the letter of alliance to negotiate with Wu Wang Fuchai, which was different from the last time, FuChai's attitude was obviously much more relaxed, and he promised to retire on the condition that Jing Bo must go to Wu with himself as a hostage, so as to ensure that lu guo's death squad would not rebel and assassinate him again.
How could the clever Jing Bo not see it, he smiled slightly, and calmly said, "It is okay if you want me to be a hostage, but you Wu Guo must also leave a hostage to show fairness!" Well, you will leave prince GuCao in exchange, how? ”
Fu Cha was furious: "Bold, dare to put forward conditions with the widow!" How can you compare with the widow's beloved son! ”
Jing Bo smiled: "Since this is the case, then we have something to talk about, see you on the battlefield!" ”
Fu Cha hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, don't!" The widow is just talking, in fact, there is no need for the doctor to be your hostage. Both of our countries are people who talk about credit, what a hostage, how hurtful feelings! ”
Therefore, the two sides concluded a covenant in a "friendly" atmosphere, which is known in history as the Treaty of WuLulaimen. But Fu Cha was still not convinced, and pondered that he still had to find an opportunity to teach Lu Guo another lesson and save face. It happened that at this moment, the State of Qi and the State of Lu had a conflict again, and it turned out that this Duke Yin was the nephew of the State of Qi. In addition, before Duke Qi mourned the throne, he had gone into exile in the country of Lu, and fell in love with Ji Kangzi's sister at first sight, and Ji Kangzi gave him his sister Xu. Later, when Duke Qi mourned the throne, he sent someone to luguo to bring his wife back, but Ji Kangzi found that his sister was actually incest with his own uncle, and Ji Kangzi was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he did not let his sister go to the country of Qi.
However, the Duke of Qi mourned ah, and thought that Ji Kangzi deliberately embarrassed himself, and was furious, so he sent the general Bao Mu to lead an army to attack the state of Lu, and along the way, he attacked the two places of Huān (huan) and Xiang Er, and sent people to the state of Wu, asking for the friendship of the state of Wu to sponsor and carry out a mixed doubles against the state of Lu, and Fu Cha immediately agreed.
This next season Yasuko is completely panicked, one can't win, actually two together, then we are not dead! Hurry up and find a way to first release Wu Guo's younger brother Yi Yingong, and then send Ji Ji back to Qi Guo, apologizing vigorously and asking the two big brothers to raise their hands high. After Duke Yiyin returned to China, he was spurned by the people, so Fu Cha ousted him from power, put him under house arrest in the palace, and let the doctors serve the prince of Yi.
The State of Lu had already surrendered, and also paid a large amount of protection money to the two bosses, the State of Qi and the State of Wu should always retire, the State of Qi quickly agreed, but The King of Wu refused to let go of the State of Lu, and Ji Kangzi had to send a big gift again, and asked the brother-in-law of the Duke of Qi to be a peacemaker and persuade the Wu people to retreat.
The following year, in the spring of the tenth year of The Reign of Wu (486 BC), Qi Sent Meng Wei to represent himself in the State of Wu as a peacemaker, saying that after all, the State of Lu was a country of marriage between the State of Qi and a state of the same surname as the State of Wu, and that it would be good for the family to fight and make trouble, and not to be moved.
Fu Cha was furious, wow, you Central Plains people actually played the widow as a monkey!
He slapped the table and roared, "Your king is too shameless, he told us to come, and told us to go, are we Wu Guo's little brothers in your Country of Qi?" ”
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we don't mean that!"
"Don't say anything, go back and tell you the king, the widow is ready to go to your country of Qi, and ask him in person who is the little brother!" Fu Cha was very angry on the surface, but in fact, he didn't know how happy he was in his stomach: Great, I was worried that I had no excuse to get Qi Guo, you sent it to the door yourself, hahaha!
In fact, Fu Cha understood very well that his real opponent in the Central Plains was Qi Jin, and weak Lu was not afraid. The reason why he had been looking for trouble for Lu Guo was only because Lu Guo happened to be blocking his way north. Now that the State of Lu has completely surrendered, the good days of the State of Qi are coming to an end.
The territory of the State of Qi is at least five times that of the State of Lu, and the State of Lu is full of prisons, and if the State of Qi is defeated, the Qi people will not be able to pay the protection fee of five hundred prisons! Thinking of this, Fu Cha almost laughed out loud.
