The conversation between Song Yangong and Shi Hou soon reached the ears of Gongzi Feng (who had many eyes and ears in the office), and Gongzi Feng finally completely abandoned his illusions and finally made up his mind to defect to Zheng Zhuanggong. Gongzi Feng was afraid of revealing his identity, so he asked a subordinate to pretend to be a master, and he himself pretended to be that person's slave. They also did not dare to take the big road and enter the big city, because Zifeng believed that the road was full of bounty hunters who wanted their own lives.

Gongzi Feng made a big circle before sneaking into Xinzheng, and he touched Gongzi Tu's residence (because Gongzi Tu's mother, Yong, was from the Song Dynasty), but was blasted out by the gatekeeper. Gongzi Feng then sat outside the door and cried loudly, and his cry alarmed Gongzi Tu. Childe suddenly rushed out of the house with a sword and a face full of anger, and at a glance he saw a ragged Hanako crying at the door. Gongzi suddenly thought that the other party was here to make trouble, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Gongzi Feng's collar, and drew his sword with his right hand against his neck.

Gongzi Feng was shocked: "Doctor Ziyuan! I'm Song Feng! Childe suddenly recognized the other party, but he didn't show any expression of surprise or pity. He just frowned slightly, then let go of his hand, returned the sword into the sheath, and let Gongzi Feng come in to bathe and change clothes, and followed him to see Zheng Zhuanggong.

Zhuang Chengcheng was discussing with the doctors, and someone reported to him that Gongzi Tu had brought Gongzi Feng here. Gong Zheng Zhuang only summoned Gongzi Tu and said with a solemn expression: "As the old saying goes: 'Only a saint can be free from internal and external troubles. 'The widow is not a saint, and as soon as he has been relieved of his internal troubles, external troubles have come. Shikoku is menacing, and the country is facing a catastrophe! Therefore, please come and discuss countermeasures together to save Zheng Guo from fire and water. ”

Sacrificial Foot looked unimpressed, touching his right ear, which had been mutilated by rats as a child, and shook his head disdainfully, as if the enemy were nothing more than a group of old and sick people. He said: "Although there are many armies of the four countries, they all have their own agendas, and they are just a rabble, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Zhuang Gong said: "This external trouble is not something that you can calm down by blowing air. Zheng people call you a 'think tank', I hope you are not full of anger in this bag, or talk less big and come up with some practical solutions. ”

"What the Song State wants is the head of Gongzi Feng, where he is, where the Song army will point......"

Zhuang Gongdao: "If you want the widow to return Feng to the Song people, then don't say it again." A widow cannot become a prince of the world

's laughing stock, otherwise how can I still have the face to see Duke Huan and Duke Wu after a hundred years? ”

Sacrificial foot said: "Gongzi Feng was originally worthless, but since he provoked the Song people to mobilize the people, he has now become an important weight, how can he easily return it to the Song people?" The minister meant to transfer Zifeng to Changge, and the threat of the Song army would naturally be lifted.

"Chen, Cai and Zheng have no hatred, they are just going out to seek favor from the Son of Heaven, and they will definitely not fight with all their might.

"Wei Zhou's position was unstable, and he started a war in order to win the support of his countrymen; All he wants is the reputation of victory, so as long as he tastes a little sweetness, the Guardian will retreat. ”

The troops of the four countries arrived at the assembly site as scheduled. The Song people suddenly received news from the Zheng people, saying that Gongzi Feng had fled to Changge, and if the Song people still wanted to arrest him, they should not obey the command of a rebellious minister and thief here.

As a result, the Song people didn't even say hello to the state (because Song Yangong disdained to deal with him), so they left the camp and went straight to Changge. The state dug a pit to lure the Song people to jump, but the sacrificial foot moved the pit away.

The armies of the three countries surrounded the east gate of Xinzheng. Although the Song army has been transferred, the number of coalition forces is still large. However, the Chen and Cai armies only came to strengthen their courage and fill the façade, they had no grievances with Zheng Guo, and they did not want to clash with Zheng Guo, and Zheng Jun did not attack the two armies.

The Zheng people just sent some infantry to fight a perfunctory battle with the guards, leaving some cheap for the other party, and then they couldn't hold out. The coalition forces did not attack the city either, and after five days of standoff between the two sides, the enemy withdrew. This battle is known in history as the "Battle of the East Gate".

Zhou Hu inadvertently set a historical precedent: this was the first joint operation led by the princes in the history of the Zhou Dynasty (although the Zhengzhuang Gong Expedition was also a joint operation, it was still carried out under the banner of the royal family), and the era of "Lile Expedition from the Princes" officially began.

The state called for a grand ceremony to revitalize the brigade, portraying himself as a national hero and boasting of his great achievements. Since the guards had made few captures, he secretly brought some baggage over to counterfeit the booty and showed it to the people when he entered the city, while his favored courtiers took the opportunity to praise him to heaven. But as soon as the scandal of the counterfeiting spread, the people became even more disgusted with him.

Lu Yingong was a monarch who adhered to the Zhou rites for most of his life, and he was greatly puzzled by the fact that he was able to swagger through the market after committing heinous crimes.

Yin Gong asked the doctor Zhongzhong if he could stabilize his position in the current situation. Zhong Zhong replied: "The ministers have only heard of winning the hearts of the people by virtue, but they have not heard of winning the hearts of the people by war. Using war to bring the people together is like crumpling silk when it is about to be pulled out but crumpled into a ball.

"The state calls on this man to be content with cruelty by force. If you use force, you will not be popular with the people, and if you are content with cruelty, there will be no one to attach to you. He has reached the point of betraying his relatives, where can he succeed?

"War is like a raging fire, and if you can't rein in your ambitions, you will inevitably be engulfed by fire. The state calls for the killing of the monarch, the tyranny of the people, and the failure to show virtue, but vainly tries to use war to achieve the goal of rule, and will surely not get a good end. ”

Yin Gong said: "If such atrocities can be committed with impunity, then there will be a catastrophe of king-killing in every country." ”
