In March 478 BC, King Gou of Yue led an army to attack the state of Wu, and King Fuchai of Wu organized a defense at Kasawa (Songjiang), and the two sides swung across the river. Gou Jian set up two units on the left and right, launched an attack at night, suddenly left and right, beating drums and advancing, while the Wu army divided its troops to resist. At this time, Gou Jian led the three armies to secretly cross the river and launched a fierce attack on the Wu army, the Wu army was defenseless, and the current chaos was great, so it was defeated.
In the spring of 476 BC, the State of Yue invaded the State of Chu in order to mislead the State of Wu, believing that the State of Yue would not take the State of Wu as its main target for the time being. In the summer, Gongzi Qing and Gongsun Kuan of the Chu State led their troops to pursue the Vietnamese army and enter the underworld in the territory of the Yue Kingdom. The Yue State originally intended to be in Wu, and had already made preparations, and the retreat speed was very fast, and the Chu forces could not catch up, so they withdrew to the country.
In 475 BC, the prince of the State of Wu, QingJi, repeatedly advised his husband and said, "If you do not change the government decree again, the State of Wu will perish." "The husband almost didn't listen. Qingji therefore left the capital and took refuge in Aidi, from where he went to the Chu state. In the winter of that year, when he heard in the Chu state that the Yue state was about to attack the state of Wu, he asked to go back to make peace with the state of Yue, and after obtaining the consent of the state of Chu, he returned to the state of Wu. Gongzi Qingji wanted to get rid of some of the disloyal people to please yue guo, but he himself was killed by the Wu people. In November of that year, the Yue kingdom besieged the state of Wu, and this siege lasted for two years.
In the winter of November 473 BC, Wu was destroyed. What really happened during the two years of the siege of Wu by the Yue Kingdom and what the specific situation was, is not mentioned in the Zuo Zhuan.
Gou Jian planned to place the captured Wu Wang Fuchai in Yongdong, but Fu Cha refused, saying, "I am old, how can I still serve the king?" Fu Cha hanged himself, and the Vietnamese took his body back.
The only detail that can be added is that after the siege of wu by the State of Yue two years ago, Zhao Meng of the Jin State (Zhao Xiangzi and Zhao Wuxi, the son of Zhao Jianzi, the former secretary of the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Jianzi had just died at this time, and Zhao Meng took over) was sad because of his inability to rescue him, because seven years ago at the Battle of Huangchi, Jin and Wu had sworn an alliance, saying that they would "like and dislike together", which means to be friendly and defend against the enemy together. Chu Long, a minister of the Zhao clan, took the initiative to go to the battlefield to convey Zhao Meng's apology to Fu Cha. Chu Long wanted to see Fu Cha, he had to pass through the encirclement set by the Yue Kingdom, so he first went to see the Yue King, saying: "The State of Wu has repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, and when he heard that the King himself was crusading, the people of Huaxia were all rejoicing, and they did not know whether the king's will could be realized, so please allow his subjects to go in and see the situation of the other side." Gou Jian let him in.
Chu Long saw Wu Wang Fuchai and said to him: "Zhao Meng, the widow's (referring to the Jin Jun) minister Zai Wuxian (Zhao Meng), sent his subordinate Chenlong to apologize: At the Battle of Huangchi, the two countries had an oath of alliance, agreeing that 'likes and dislikes are the same'. The present king is trapped, and although he does not dare to quit his hard work, the Jin state is powerless and hereby reports. The husband sent the head of the auditor and said, "The widow is incompetent and cannot serve the Yue kingdom, which worries the doctor, thank you!" Fu Cha asked people to take a piece of pearl, and asked Chu Long to reply to Zhao Meng, saying: "It is not good for me to live, I am afraid that I will not be able to end well." ("The sentence will give birth to the widow, and the widow will not die.") ”）
1. Take a concubine as a wife
In 471 BC, duke Lu Ai planned to make Gongzi Jing's mother a lady and ask the Zongren (the official in charge of the temple and sacrifice) to prepare corresponding ceremonies. Gong Xia replied to Lu Aigong, "There is no such etiquette. Lu Aigong was very angry and said, "As a sect leader, Madame Zhili is a state gift, how can you say that there is not?" Gong Xia replied, "The previous Dukes of Zhou and Wu married Xue, the Dukes of Filial Piety and Hui married Shang, and since Duke Huan, Lu Jun has all married To Qi. If a concubine is a concubine, then there is no such etiquette. Ignoring Gong Xia's objections, the Duke of Lu ai insisted that Gongzi Jing's mother be his wife and Gongzi Jing the Crown Prince, and the people of Lu began to dislike Gong Lai.
Since ancient times, wives are wives and concubines are concubines, and the two are distinct, and "taking concubines as wives" is a serious violation. Mencius Tells the Son, describing the meeting of the princes kuiqiu presided over by the Duke of Qi Huan in 651 BC, said: "The meeting of kuiqiu, the marquis bundled the book without bloodshed. The first commandment said: 'No filial piety, no easy tree, no concubine as a wife.' Even the alliance agreement between the princes included "no concubine as a wife" in the terms of the covenant, which shows that it is not unreasonable for the opposition of The Xia dynasty and the gradual dislike of the Lu people for the Duke of Ai.
At the end of the year, Duke Lu Ai visited the Kingdom of Yue and established a very good personal relationship with Prince Shi Yin of Yue, who planned to marry his daughter to him and grant him a lot of land. Gongsun Youshan, the Grand Master of the State of Lu, told Ji Sun (Ji Kangzi) the news. Ji Sun was worried that once duke Ai had Yue Guo as a patron, he would lose his position and suffer, so he sent someone to bribe the Great Zai Yao of yue guo (嚭 was once the minister of the State of Wu, Wu was destroyed, and was used by Yue), who obstructed it, and the matter was terminated.
2, break the word and fat
Duke Lu Ai stayed in Yue for half a year, and only returned to China in June 470 BC, when Ji Kangzi and Meng Wubo greeted the monarch at Wuwu on the southern border of lu. The doctor Guo Zhong, who was Lu Aigong's assistant on his travels, first went to see Ji and Meng, and when he returned, he said to Lu Aigong: "These two people have said bad things about the monarch, and the monarch can be investigated in person." ”
Lu Aigong set up a banquet at Wuwu, and Meng Wubo made a toast, deliberately disgusting Guo Zhong and saying, "Why are you so fat?" Ji Kangzi saw the scene embarrassed, quickly hit the round field and said: "Penalty wine penalty wine!" Because the country of Lu is close to the enemy country, I cannot accompany the monarch, so I am free from fatigue. And heavy with the monarch toil for half a year, why not say that tired and thin but say that people are fat? Lu Aigong did not intend to give the two people face, and deliberately continued Meng Wubo's words: "If you have eaten too much of your words, can you not be fat?" "Since the Ji and Meng clans have long been only superficially honorable, and they have probably promised many times to return power and wealth to the control of the monarch and never cashed in, the Duke of Lu Ai took the opportunity to point out Sang Andhuai.
In this way, the feast turned into a drunken drink, and the monarch and the courtiers henceforth hated each other.
3. Thinking of Zigong
In the spring of 468 BC, the Yue state sent a doctor to send an envoy to the state of Lu. In February, Lu and Yue met in Pingyang, and Ji Kangzi, Meng Wuzi, and Uncle Sun Wenzi of the "Three Huans" family of the Lu kingdom were all present. At this moment, Ji Kangzi suddenly remembered Zigong.
At this time, Confucius had been dead for eleven years, and his disciple Zigong was still there. Zigong is good at eloquence and ability to do things, and once served as the head of the Ji family. Fifteen years ago, Duke Lu Ai met with Wu Wang Fuchai, who sent Dazai Yao to the State of Lu to propose that the two sides should hold a ceremony to relive the old alliance (the so-called alliance), and Lu Aigong was unwilling to send Zigong to deal with it. Zigong said to Dazai, "Since there is a covenant, it cannot be changed." If it can be changed, what is the use of the Heavenly Alliance Oath that day? What's the point of you saying today, 'We must reaffirm the old alliance,' and if we can do so, we can change it? "Dazai Said Not enough, this matter will not be resolved."
Although Wu and Yue were strong, they were always barbarians in the eyes of the Central Plains. Lu Guo was obedient on the surface, but always ashamed in his heart. At present, the State of Lu will swear an alliance with the State of Vietnam, but no one like Zigong will come forward to deal with it, so Ji Kangzi is worried. He said, "If Zigong were here, I wouldn't have faced such a situation!" Meng Wubo said, "Yes! Why not call him back? Ji Kangzi said, "I was going to summon him back." Uncle Sun Wenzi said, "After you go back, please remember this." ”
In April of that year, Ji Yasuko died. Lu Aigong went to mourn and deliberately lowered the level of etiquette to show his dissatisfaction with Ji. As for whether Zigong was recalled for appointment, it is not known.
4. One last attempt
The Duke of Lu Ai, citing the strength of the "Three Huans" forces, wanted to use the power of the princes to get rid of them. The "Three Huans" were plagued by the arrogance of the Duke of Lu Ai, and the relationship between the monarchs and subjects became increasingly tense.
In the year of Ji Kangzi's death, Duke Lu Ai was playing in Lingshan one day and met Meng Wubo at Meng Zhiqu. Lu Aigong deliberately provoked, saying, "Can I end well?" Meng Wubo replied, "I don't know about that." The Duke of Wai asked three questions in succession, but Meng Wubo always refused to answer.
Lu Aigong was determined to get rid of the "Three Huans", and he remembered that Prince Shiyin of Yue had a good relationship with him, so he wanted to go to Yueguo for help. In the autumn of 468 BC, Duke Lu'ai went to the Gongsun Youjing clan (i.e., the Gongsun Youshan clan), and from there he took refuge in the kingdom of Yizi, and then from the kingdom of Yizi to the state of Yue. The Lu people later pursued Gongsun Youshan for this reason.
afterward...... I don't know how, the zuo zhuan's record of the state of Lu ends abruptly here.
