There is a small country in the northwest of Chu called Ba Guo (moved to Chongqing during the Warring States Period), surnamed Ji. Pakistan is not far from Deng, and Deng is located on the eastward road of the Ba people. However, there were no diplomatic relations between the two countries, and there was no trade agreement, so Pakistani merchants were always heavily taxed when they passed through the country.

In the ninth year of Lu Huan, Ba sent an envoy named Hanfu to visit Chu. Hanbok expressed to King Wu of Chu that Bazi wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the state of Deng, and asked the Chu people to mediate between them. King Wu of Chu liked to enjoy the feeling of being pleaded with by others, so he immediately sent the doctor Daoshuo to take the delegation of Ba to Deng.

There is a very large city called Lu in the eastern suburbs of Deng Guo, and Lu City is the vassal and east gate of Deng Guo; Dao Shuo planned to enter the state of Deng with the mission from Lu. The uninformed people thought that it was another Pakistani caravan, so they were ready to knock on it as usual.

Hanbok shows the locals that this is a Pakistani mission, not a caravan. The people didn't believe it, thinking he was deceiving people. They said, "Pakistan is in the west, so how can the mission come from the east?" Dao Shuo also expressed his identity, but the Lu people said that Dao Shuo has nothing to do with the Ba people. When they spoke, their eyes were just fixed on the truckload of goods, thinking about how much they could extort this time, and they didn't listen to him at all.

Dao Shuo felt insulted, he yelled at the other party while pushing the greedy ghosts, and was about to force his way through, but the people were also ready to rob him. Suddenly, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the Lu people gathered more and more, with the result that all the members of the mission, including Dao Shuo and Hanbok, were killed, and the Lu people returned with a load of loot.

King Wu of Chu was furious, but considering that the people of Deng did not know about it in advance and the marriage relationship between the two countries, he did not resort to force, but sent Zong Zhang to Deng to condemn the violence. Deng Hou had already accepted bribes from the Lu people at this time, and the bribe-giver reversed black and white, completely put the responsibility on the Ba people, and concealed from Deng Hou the information that among the victims were Chu people.

After the arrival of the Zhang, Deng Hou learned the truth. He scolded in his heart that everyone was a liar, and he dared to bribe himself with property that should have belonged to him. But at this point, he felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to use strong words to deal with Jingzhang.

Bao Zhang left Deng in anger, and after returning to China, he sued Deng Hou in front of King Wu of Chu. In a fit of rage, King Wu of Chu decided to destroy the den of scoundrels and robbers, and he issued an order to the kingdom of Ba to destroy the city of Lu. In the summer, Dou Lian led the Chu army to merge with the Ba army and jointly attack the city of Yan.

The people of Lucheng were terrified, and Lu Fengjun rushed all the way to Deng Guo for help. Deng Hou sent a doctor to raise his nephew and Ran's nephew to rescue him. The city of Yancheng was bordered by Hanshui to the south and Deng to the west, and the land area in these two directions was so small that the attackers could not place their troops. The Chu people stationed their troops in the eastern suburbs of the city, and the Ba army in the northern suburbs.

Deng's reinforcements set out from the north gate of the capital and soon encountered the Pakistani army. Because they were fighting in front of their homes, the morale of the Deng army was high, and they wanted to fight a quick battle and drive the enemy into Hanshui; But Deng underestimated the coalition's determination to take revenge.

The Pakistani army retreated five miles and lined up in defensive formations to meet the enemy. The Deng army was outnumbered by the other side, and the attack was launched immediately after the army was assembled, and the defense of the Pakistani army was impeccable, and the Deng army failed to break through the enemy's defense line after attacking three times in a row.

Deng Guo's soldiers began to show impatience at this time, and the two generals were afraid that the enemy army would take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, so they withdrew their troops and then summoned the military officials to study the battle plan. At this time, there was also a new movement on the part of the coalition forces, and there was a commotion in the Pakistani army. The two climbed to the top and looked at it, and found that the Pakistani army was moving left and right, leaving a blank area in the middle; The Chu army in the distance is coming, ready to fill this gap.

The nephew saw this as an excellent opportunity to attack (because the enemy was in motion and could not establish an effective defense), and as long as they charged quickly and attacked when the Chu army was not in formation, the enemy would fall into confusion and suffer a crushing defeat.

The nephew then divided the Deng army into two groups: he led the main force to attack the Chu army; Ran's nephew led a smaller group to block the rescue of the Pakistani army against the Chu army.

The adoptive nephew's attack was extremely fast, and the Chu army seemed unprepared, and after a little resistance, he turned around and fled. The nephew beat the drum hard, and the army charged with all his might. Ran's nephew was originally preparing to resist the attack of the Deng army, but at this time he found that the Pakistani army began to retreat, and the speed was very fast, and it seemed that he no longer planned to save the Chu army.

In fact, Ran's nephew has a prejudice against his adoptive nephew, he thinks that his adoptive nephew loves to be in the limelight, always wants to suppress himself, and wants to swallow the spoils of war (the adoptive nephew does think and do the same thing). It is unprofitable to pursue the Pakistani army, but the baggage of the coalition army can be hoarded near the Chu army camp! Thinking of this, he gave up his duty and followed his nephew to pursue the Chu army.

The Chu soldiers looked like they were in a state of collapse, but they fled scattered and scattered: the relative positions of the chariots, standard-bearers, and soldiers barely changed, and the direction, pace, and rhythm of the escape were surprisingly consistent, like a rapid march. If the commander suddenly gives any military order at this time, the soldiers will immediately stop running and carry it out.

Instead of fleeing into the barracks, the Chu army led their pursuers to a hill to the east. The Chu army fled to the slope, both sides were already exhausted, and the Deng army wanted to rest before attacking on the back.

At this moment, the drums suddenly sounded, and an ambush suddenly rushed out of the jungle. Deng Jun was lying on the ground gasping for breath, and the soldiers closest to the slope were immediately slaughtered, and Deng Ren confessed that he had broken into the trap designed by the Chu people, and the people immediately got up and fled backwards.

The part of the Deng army that was farther away from the hills was not affected, and the nephew tried to regroup the army, believing that if the two sides started a dignified battle, the Deng army was sure to retreat in one piece. But the Chu army did not give the adopted nephew this opportunity, they shouted and rushed towards the adopted nephew, and the adopted nephew could not give an order, so he had to turn around and flee.

In order to escape, the defeated army threw weapons and armor all over the ground. Before the war, there was an order that only the enemy should be attacked, and no spoils of war should be coveted; So the Chu army turned a blind eye to the armor everywhere and still pursued with all its might.

The rout of the nephew dispersed the army of Ran's nephew, who had rushed to rob, and the Ba army turned around and copied the back road of Deng's army; The Deng army was flanked by the coalition forces in front and back, and the soldiers scattered and fled, and the army was crushed for several miles.

At the end of the battle, the sun had turned westward, and Dou Lian sent a team to clean up the battlefield, and the tired soldiers returned to the barracks to rest, preparing to raze the city to the ground early in the morning on a cloudy day.

The inhabitants of the city were so frightened that they took advantage of the darkness to open the gates and fled. Early the next morning, coalition forces occupied the empty city. Those who did not have time to flee and those who did not take with them became spoils of war. The Chu army smashed the city walls and set fire to the buildings all over the city.

The Deng people could have received a new ally and all the gifts; However, due to Deng Hou's stupidity, they received only a portion of the stolen goods and two strong enemies, and lost a large number of soldiers and a vassal, while also paying huge compensation to the victorious powers.

The Marquis of Deng sent an envoy to the state of Chu to sue for peace, and the king of Chu Wu agreed to sign an alliance with the state of Deng, believing that the time had not yet come to destroy the state of Deng, and that the state of Deng had already been duly punished.

At this time, it was less than thirty years since the fall of the Deng Kingdom.
