In 575 BC, during the Battle of Yanling, Luan Shu led a large army of the Jin state and defeated the Chu state by chance. What made Luan Shu even more pleased was that not only did he himself reach the peak of his life in the Jin Kingdom, but his two sons were also highly valued: the eldest son Luan Di as an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, and the second son Luan Li as the right of the monarch, escorting the Jin Li Gong.
Before the start of the war, the Jinli Gong chariot fell into the mud, and Luan Shu wanted to carry the Jin Li Gong to get out of trouble. At this time, Luan Zhen suddenly shouted, "Luan Shu retreats!" The great war is imminent, how can you take care of everything alone? To infringe upon the authority of others is to offend; to abandon one's own responsibilities as a marshal is to be slack; to detach oneself from one's subordinates on the battlefield is to act arbitrarily. These three crimes cannot be committed! ”
Luan Called his father's name in front of everyone and trained his father, which seemed too rude. However, according to the ancient rites, "the name of the former subject of the king" ("Li Ji Qu Li Shang") - in front of the monarch, the group of courtiers is to call his name directly. Although Luan Shu and Luan Jun were father and son, they were both ministers, so it was appropriate for Luan Jun to call his father by his father's name in front of Jin Ligong. Secondly, as the right hand of the Jinli bus, Luan Jun's duty is to help the monarch get out of trouble, not Luan Shu. Luan Shu was the supreme commander of the Jin army, and his duty was to command the whole army in battle, not to take care of the monarch. Therefore, although Luan Jun trained his father in the public public, which made Luan Shu a little humiliated, from the perspective of the overall situation, this is undoubtedly safeguarding the interests of the Jin State.
At the end of the day's war, Luan Appeared Again.
He happened to see the banner of the Chu state ling Yin Zizhong, so he requested the Duke of Jin Li to send wine to Zi Zhong to drink, so as to reflect the "good order" of the Jin army. According to Luan's opinion, the Jin people must not only defeat the Chu state in battle, but also surpass the Chu state in demeanor!
Luan Di and Luan Gong brothers appeared on the historical stage for the first time, and Luan Li's performance was obviously more brilliant. Unfortunately, Luan's father was Luan Shu; what is even more unfortunate is that Luan Li was Luan's younger brother.
In 573 BC, Luan Shu killed the Duke of Jin, took back the Duke of Jin from Chengzhou, and was made the monarch.
The fourteen-year-old Jin Mourning Gong had just returned to China, and his life was not familiar, and in order to better govern in the future, he had made a lot of effort in employing people. For Luan Shu and Xun Yan, who led the killing of Li Gong of Jin, although their positions did not move, a large number of people from other clans were placed around them as a containment. Luan Di and Luan Gong were two brothers, Luan Di was appointed as the Grand Master of the Gong Clan, but Luan Gong, who had served as the right hand of the Jinli bus, was abandoned. The Gong Clan Doctor was the one who was responsible for managing the lawbreakers among the Qing Clan Doctors, and although his name was high, he did not hold military power. Therefore, whether it is the appointment of Luan Di as the Grand Master of the Gong Clan, or the abandonment of Luan Gong as the right side of the car, it reflects the precautionary heart of the Duke of Jin for Luan Shu.
Under all kinds of signs, Luan Shu became worried and died in the year when the Jin mourned the return of the Duke. Unfortunately, Wei Xiang, the general of the lower army who had just been appointed by the Duke of Jin, also died. In order to make up for the lack of Luan Shu, Luan Di, as The Secretary of The Army, took the place of Wei Xiang's subordinate general. At the same time, the Duke of Jin promoted Zhao Wu to the post of Qing and made him the new military assistant.
After Luan Shu's death, the situation of Luan Jun and Luan Di brothers was somewhat embarrassing. Except for 572 BC, when Luan Yi once led an army alone, in eight or nine years, their brothers were never seen on the political stage of the Jin Dynasty. As Jin Qing, Luan Di seems so low-key, extremely unusual - you know, Luan Di is not a low-key person by nature.
Time slowly passed, and the Jin and Chu rivalries gradually entered a white-hot situation. The dispatch of the Jin army became more and more frequent, and the scale of the army dispatch became larger and larger.
In 564 BC, the State of Jin led a large army of princes to besiege the State of Zheng, and Luan Di, as the main general of the army, was responsible for attacking the North Gate of New Zheng. From 573 BC to the Jin Dynasty, for ten years, Luan's position has never changed. And Luan Jun, on the other hand, never appeared in the list of employees of the Duke of Jin.
Therefore, this can only explain one point: although the Duke of Jin mourned the Luan brothers, although they used it, they still had some scruples, especially the tyrannical Luan.
But Luan's personality is destined not to be willing to be so obscure.
In 683 BC, because of Zheng Guo's betrayal, the Jin State led the princes to build a city in the Tiger Prison to deter the Zheng people. Zheng Guo was forced to surrender. But at this moment, the State of Chu ordered Yin Zinang to lead an army to rescue Zheng Guo.
In November, the combined forces of the princes marched south and attacked Yangling (陳陵, in the north of Xuchang, Henan) to persecute the Chu army. However, Zi Nang saw that the princely army was just bluffing and resolutely refused to retreat.
The jin general Xun Yan saw that the Chu people were so tenacious and helpless, and he wanted to retire from the army. However, the general Luan Di, the commander of the lower army, suddenly jumped out and vigorously opposed: "To escape from the Chu army is the shame of the Jin state." If you join the power of the princes and avoid Chu, the shame will be even heavier, and it is better to die! I will march alone! In 597 BC, Xian's attitude was the same, forcing the Chinese commander Xun Linfu to follow him across the Yellow River, which eventually led to a major defeat at the Battle of Wu. The current Luan Di is the ancestor of that year. Xun Yan saw that Luan Di was so unreasonable and had no choice but to order the whole army to continue to advance and confront the Chu army across the Yingshui River.
At this time, the Zheng people saw that the combined forces of the princes had no desire to fight, so they privately surrendered to the Chu state. When Luan Di heard about this, he was furious and wanted to lead his army to attack Zheng Jun. This dispatch of troops was one of a series of attacks under Xun Yan's "three divisions and four armies" strategy, and the Jin people's strength itself was limited. Therefore, attacking the Zheng army at this time, the Chu people will surely launch a surprise attack behind their backs. With the current strength of the Jin army, it is absolutely difficult to resist the surprise attack of the Chu army. Thinking of this, Xun Yan resolutely rejected Luan Di's suggestion. In the end, at the insistence of Xun Yan, the combined forces of the princes wisely withdrew.
As the main general of the lower army, Luan Di did not obey the general's orders, and also forcefully forced the Chinese army lord to act according to his own intentions, which showed the strength of his personality! If Xun Yan was still as weak as Xun Lin's father, a big defeat in the Jin Kingdom would be inevitable! Luan Di did not cause a major disaster this time, it was the luck of the Jin State, and it was also the misfortune of the Jin State!
Because after this, Luan Di will cause even greater disasters.
However, although Luan Di is so strong, he also has surprising moments.
In 560 BC, because of the deaths of Xun Yan and Shi Que, there were two vacancies in the Jin State Secretary. To this end, the Duke of Jin had to readjust Jinqing. In the spring of that year, the Duke of Jin mourned the spring feast in Mianshang (west of the western wing of Shanxi) to officially determine the Jin Qing.
At first, Duke Miao of Jin wanted to directly promote the Chinese army to the position of the main general of the Chinese army, but shi Zha refused: "Xun Yan is older than me. Before, it was because I was more familiar with Xun Yan that I was asked to assist him, not that I was more virtuous. Or ask Xun Yan to be the main general of the Chinese army! ”
When the Duke of Jin heard this, he promoted Xun Yan to be the chief general of the Chinese army. This was the first time in fourteen years that Xun Yan had been promoted.
Later, the Duke of Jin wanted to promote Han Qi to the rank of general of the Shangjun Army. Han Qi was the son of Han Que and had previously served as a shangjun zuo as an heir apparent. Let him serve as the main general of the army, and he is also a substitute in line. However, Han Qi took the initiative to give way to Zhao Wu. Han Qi's father, Han Jue, was raised by Zhao Wu's grandfather Zhao Dun, and today's Zhao Wu became Jin Qing many years before Han Qi. Han Qi gave way to Zhao Wu, and there was also some meaning to repay Zhao's kindness.
But Zhao Wu was only the main general of the new army, and before him, there was also a subordinate general Luan Di. Crossing luan to promote Zhao Wu, will the tyrannical Luan be convinced? Therefore, the clever Jin Mourning Gong went to consult Luan Yi first.
The Luan clan and the Zhao clan can be said to be feuds. Letting Zhao Wuyue himself serve as the main general of the shangjun, Luan Di was a hundred unconvinced in his heart. However, shangjun Zuo Hanqi had already given way to Zhao Wu, and he himself went to seize the position of shangjun's main general, which was also too boring. What's more, the Duke of Jin obviously liked Zhao Wu more, otherwise he would not have promoted Zhao Wu to Jin Qing just after returning to China! Thinking of this, Luan Di also refused to be the Duke of Jin: "The subordinates are not as good as Han Qi; Han Qi is willing to give way to Zhao Wu, please let the monarch still listen to him!" "It's not that I'm not as good as Zhao Wu, it's that I don't want to be above Han Qi!"
After hearing Luan's words, the Duke of Jin was relieved to appoint Zhao Wu as the chief general of the Shangjun Army.
Luan Di was so domineering and domineering that he would actually take the initiative to give way to others, which was really the sun hitting the west side! However, the reason why Luan Di was able to do so was only because the two Jin Qing in front of him had set an example first. If he didn't let it, I was afraid that the Luan clan would be completely isolated in the Jin Dynasty. Luan Di is tyrannical, but not stupid.
But character determines destiny. As Luan Di's seniority grew older, it became more and more difficult for him to be subdued in the Jin Dynasty.
In the summer of 559 BC, in retaliation for the Qin state to cut down the Jin, the Jin state led a large army of princes to cut down the Qin. Because the princely states had all sent doctors, the Duke of Jin waited on the border and let the new Six Qing Commanders go out on the expedition. When they reached the edge of the Jing River, the Qin people poisoned the Jing River, causing heavy casualties to the combined forces of the princes. The combined forces of the princes continued to attack to Tanglin (southwest of Jingshui, Jingyang, Shaanxi), but the Qin refused to surrender.
At this time, Xun Yan, the commander of the Jin Dynasty, ordered: "Tomorrow morning when the chickens crow, drive, fill in the well and flat stove, and all watch my horse's head and march!" At this time, the domineering Luan Di suddenly deliberately made it bad: "The Jin military order has never been like this." My horse's head is going east! After saying that, he ignored it and led the army to retreat alone. The lower army, Zuo Wei Dai, also retreated with Luan Di.
When Xun Yan heard about this, he blamed himself: "My order is indeed wrong, and regret is useless, and staying behind will only be given to the prisoners of the Qin State." So he ordered the whole army to retreat.
No matter how vague Xun Yan's military orders were, as the commander-in-chief of the lower army, he had time to ask Xun Yan clearly before acting. But Luan Di actually withdrew his troops privately, which was completely a child's play for the general's order! However, Luan Di retreated on his own, but his younger brother Luan Yan was extremely dissatisfied with the withdrawal: "This expedition is to retaliate for the defeat of Que Di. But the failure of the teacher is really a shame for the Jin country! Aren't we Two Luan brothers ashamed to go to war? Therefore, Luan Jun instigated Shi Zhao's son Shi Martin to attack the Qin army together and die in the Qin army!
Luan's death was actually luan's death!
After learning of his brother's death, Luan Di became angry and said to Shi Zhao, "My brother originally did not want to go, it was your son who recruited him; now that my brother is dead, your son has returned, and it was Shi Martin who killed my brother!" If I don't expel him, I'll kill him!" ”
Luan Di This is a strong word!
The Fan family has always been extremely low-key, and in order to avoid Luan's poisoning hands, Shi Martin had to flee to the Qin State.
When Shi Martin fled to the Qin State, Qin Jinggong deliberately asked him, "Which family of the Jin Dynasty Doctors will die first?" ”
Shi Martin's resentment of Luan Di was still there, and he didn't want to think about it, so he replied, "Of course it's Luan Clan!" ”
Qin Jinggong had expected Shi Martin to answer like this, and was secretly happy: "Is it because he is too arbitrary and domineering?" ”
"Nice. However, although Luan Di was tyrannical, he could still be spared from disaster, and I was afraid that his son Luan Ying would not be spared! ”
Qin Jinggong listened and felt very strange: "Why? ”
Shi Martin replied solemnly: "Luan Shu has virtue over the people of the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin people love him just as the Zhou people love zhao gong and do not want to cut down his cool sweet tang tree, let alone the son of Luan Shu?" After Luan Yi's death, Luan Ying's virtue had not yet had time to be felt by everyone, but people's resentment against Luan Yi had reached the extreme, so Luan Ying would definitely suffer! ”
Qin Jinggong was deeply impressed by Shi Martin's words. Subsequently, Qin Jinggong took the initiative to intercede for Shi Martin and sent him back to the Jin Dynasty.
Because of the internal turmoil in Jin caused by the cutting of Qin, it was finally temporarily brought to an end under the mediation of Qin Jinggong.
What an irony!
As the most important party, the Duke of Jin mourned as if he had disappeared, and he never uttered a sound. When he first returned to China, in the face of many old ministers who were not afraid of the Jin Mourning Gong, now he could not even dispose of an arrogant Luan Di?
This time the qin was fruitless, and Luan Di was the culprit. However, the Duke of Jin did not punish him in any way. Seven years later, Shi Martin attacked and drove Luan Ying out of the Jin State; nine years later, Luan Ying secretly returned to the Jin State and launched a huge rebellion; in the end, Luan Ying was defeated by the Jin people, and the Luan clan was exterminated!
Of Luan Shu's two sons, the eldest son, Luan Di, was overbearing but reused, and the second son, Luan Gong, was loyal to the country but was snubbed—which was undoubtedly a major mistake by the Jin mourners. Because of Luan's arbitrariness, it led to the jin state cutting qin and returning to Qin, and also caused a rift within the Jin people to re-create a rift, and finally induced a great chaos in the Jin state nine years later! If the Duke of Jin had used Luan instead of Luan when he returned to China, would this civil unrest have been avoided?
