In the summer of that year, the Sui people committed a terrible atrocity against the Qi people, although the murderers were later retaliated by the Qi people, and even the sacrifices were cut off; However, the occurrence of the incident still had a huge negative impact on the dignity of Qi Guo and the prestige of Qi Huangong.

As mentioned earlier, the people of Qi occupied the Sui State in the thirteenth year of the reign of Duke Lu Zhuang. After the city was broken, the leaders of the four major families of the Sui Kingdom begged the Duke of Qi Huan and said: "The Sui Kingdom is the descendants of Yu Shun and the descendants of the saints, and the founding time is earlier than that of Yin Shang. Sui was not aggressive, and did not dare to be the enemy of a big country, so it only had such a large and small piece of land for thousands of years.

"Our ancestral temple enshrines the oldest god in the world, Yu Shun, and even the Son of Heaven has sent ministers to participate in the sacrifice to the ancestors. So, if you want, don't move us away, don't turn the descendants of the saints into homelessness or slavery! Your tolerance will move the world, and the princes know that you have the mind to tolerate the world, how can you not return like a tide! ”

Duke Qi Huan was moved by Suiren's words, so he retained the land and wealth of Suiren, and at the same time sent an army to Suiyi to garrison it.

The military and political governor stationed in Suiyi was Gongziyu, a man who could fight well but was insatiable. He held great power and covered the sky with one hand, did a lot of incorruptible and shameful things, and imposed heavy taxes on the people. The Sui people could not bear the double oppression of the Qi State and the administrator, and sent representatives to Linzi several times to accuse and plead, but each time in vain, and due to the connivance of Qi Huangong, Gongziyu's methods on the aborigines became more brutal.

People later found out: it turned out that Qi Huan Gong repented shortly after agreeing to Suiren's request; But he is very good-looking, and he doesn't want to hear the world criticize him for going back on his word, so he secretly instructed Gongzi Yu to take three indiscriminate measures against Suiren until he forced them away or forced them to rebel (but Guan Zhong opposed Huan Gong's use of conspiracy, and he advocated that everything should be done in the dark).

After learning the truth, people were completely desperate, "It turns out that the person who flaunts benevolence and morality every day is the real villain!" If Qi Xiaobai is determined to persecute Suiren, who can save us? Since you can't survive on your knees, it's a question of kneeling or standing! After some secret deliberation, it was decided to make a final revolt.

In the summer, Sui Ren routinely held a sacrificial ceremony for Yu Shun; The whole city was mobilized, and foreigners who had come to watch the ceremony flocked to it. The scale of this ceremony is the grandest, and it can be called the grandest in a thousand years; Because it is clear to people that this is probably the last sacrifice to the ancestors. After the ceremony, the major families invited the Qi people to their homes for hospitality.

The people of Qi did not have the slightest suspicion of the sudden enthusiasm, and they ate satisfied, drank and played to their heart's content, and soon fell drunk and lay down. So they killed all these people who had no ability to resist, whether good or bad, and dragged the corpses outside the north gate where the Qi army entered the city, piled them up, and burned them down. Thick black smoke mixed with the smell of burnt corpses was blown into the city by the wind, and people vomited for days as a result.

The four great families were ready to die, and they sent a group of people to escort Yu Shun and the gods of the previous monarchs out of Suiyi to the south, and those who were not fit to fight followed them, while the rest prepared for war day and night. The army of Qi soon slaughtered violently, and both sides harbored bitter hatred for the enemy, so the scene was particularly bloody and tragic. It was a battle of great disparity in power, and the Qi army breached the city gate in a short time, but the ensuing street fighting caused great damage to the invaders.

Qi Huan Gong was furious and set the whole city on fire, and the fire continued to burn for three days and three nights. When the Qi people re-entered the city and cleaned up the scene, there were still many people who described horror as suicidal attacks on the Qi people.

The thousand-year-old country was reduced to ruins, all the ancient buildings were burned down, most of the people who remained were killed in battle, and the captives were sold into slavery.

This was a lose-lose ending, so the family was ruined, the Qi country lost a prosperous city, and the Duke of Qi Huan lost his reputation and credit. Qi Huan Gong was in a trance all day long, his ears were hot, and he didn't know how many people in the world were cursing him; Guan Zhong also did not go to the court for several days because he did not listen to his advice.

A total solar eclipse occurred on the first day of the third month of the 18th year of the reign of Lu Zhuang (676 BC) (April 15 in the Gregorian calendar), and many countries have speculated about the omen of its appearance; None of them are credible because the conclusions are inconsistent.

In the summer, the monarchs of several small Dongyi countries visited Lu in groups. These small states were often harassed by the Jishi Rong entrenched in the Jixi area; The monarchs were so troubled that they had to ask Duke Lu Zhuang to mediate for them.

Lu Zhuanggong triumphantly boasted to the little monarchs: "Lu and Jishi Rong have a traditional friendship, and war and peace are a matter of few words." You've found the right person, and it's up to the widow. ”

However, as soon as Lu Zhuanggong's cattle were blown out, a Jishi Rong quietly invaded the border towns of Lu and robbed a large number of people and property. Lu Zhuanggong was particularly annoyed, and he decided to personally teach those barbarians who did not have long eyes and hearts. Lu Zhuang Gong then personally led a light army to cross Jishui, and Ji Shi Rong was enjoying the spoils of war to the fullest, without the slightest precaution. As a result, the Lu army defeated Jishi Rong in Jixi, and the army not only rescued the captured population, but also captured a large number of enemy populations.
