The death of Duke Huan of Qi not only ended Qi's leadership in the alliance, but also caused the Huaxia alliance to quickly fall apart.

No one should be surprised that Jeongkook immediately broke away from the alliance. Zheng Wengong seems to have premeditated, he went to Yingdu to meet the old master before Qi Xiaogong ascended the throne.

King Chu Cheng was stunned by his arrival, and specially gave him a large cart of precious bronze for this purpose. Later, King Cheng was reminded that the Zheng people might use these materials to cast weapons, and King Cheng regretted his actions. He later told Zheng Wengong that the gift he gave to Zheng Guo was a symbol of peace and friendship and should not be used in war. After Zheng Wengong returned, he used these bronzes to cast three bells symbolizing peace and friendship.

In the year of Qi Xiaogong's accession to the throne, the first major war broke out between Xing and Wei. Xing and Wei were brothers who shared the same illness, and they both relied on the salvation of Qi to restore the country; But on the anniversary of the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the two countries began a life-and-death war that ended with the destruction of Xing.

Duke Wei Wen is the son of Xuan Jiang and the nephew of Duke Qi Huan. Duke Qi Huan's grace to the reinvention of the country made Duke Wei Wen the only Duke of Qi Huan, and Duke Qi Huan's trust in Duke Wei Wen was also higher than that of Duke Song Xiang (Duke Song was the grandson of Duke Qi Huan and the nephew of Duke Wei Wen). Duke Qi Huan only considered that the strength of the defense of the country was too weak, so he entrusted the crown prince Zhao to Song Xianggong.

Gongzi Kaifang was originally the crown prince of Wei Yigong. After Wei Yigong was defeated and died, Doctor Wei Guo took into account the dislike of Wei Yigong's family and the character of the Kaifang, so he deposed the position of the prince of Kaifang and renamed Zhaobo's son as the king.

Kaifang knew that he had lost his foothold in the country, so he ran to the country of Qi. Kaifang hated the country because he was deprived of the right to inherit, and because he hated the country, he hated Gongzi Wuyi and Gongzi Yuan (both of whose mothers were patriots); So I sided with Gongzi Pan. Gongzi Pan later married a wife in Xing Guo and established a close relationship with Xing Bo.

So before the death of Duke Qi Huan, the princes of Qi were divided into the Wei Guo Gang and the Xing Guo Gang.

And the foreign policies of Wei Guo and Xing Guo are also very different.

Wei Wengong was a strong advocate and faithful practitioner of "Chinese chauvinism," and he was also a person with a strong personality. He hated all the nations that were cloaked in left-hand mantras, and vowed to eradicate all the Rongdi. During the twenty-five years of his reign, the Wei people went to war against the Di people whenever they found an opportunity; Wei Ren could even see the shadow of the ancestor Ji Li from him.

Xing Bo's loyalty to Qi Huan Gong is also undoubted; At the same time, he is also a realist who is well versed in the art of change, and the Yi Di in the East has been seriously assimilated by the Chinese people (many Di masters like to speak the Qi accent and use the Chinese etiquette to receive the Xing people); Xing Bo then adopted a strategy of living in harmony with Yidi, and even befriended the barbarian northern tribes through them.

In this way, the patriots accused Xing of forgetting their ancestors and recognizing thieves as relatives; The people of Xing Guoren ridiculed the people of the country for not measuring their own strength and being strong in the middle.

When Duke Qi Huan was alive, the two countries were only engaged in a war of words; But after his death, all contradictions erupted.

Qi Xiaogong's accession to the throne and his pursuit of the fourth prince greatly damaged the interests of Xing Guo. After the defeat of the Qi division at the hands of the Di division, Qi Xiaogong temporarily stopped and no longer resorted to violent means against the enemy. However, he warned Xing Guo not to get involved with the fourth prince and Di Ren, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Xing Guoren felt great pressure and danger, and Xing Bo realized that the time had come to part ways with the Xiaogong regime of Qi State, so he decided to strike first and kill the pawn of Qi Guoren - Wei Guo.

In the winter of the eighteenth year of Lu Xigong, the combined forces of Xing and Di launched a large-scale attack on Weiguo, and the reason for the war was that Weiguo had just annihilated a tribe of the Di people, and the leader of that tribe was not only a close relative of the Xing people, but also an alliance with Xing.

Xingguo is located in the north-east direction of Weiguo, and the Di tribe is also mostly entrenched in the north and east of Weiguo; However, the coalition forces bypassed the small but difficult cities on the way to defend the country and made a detour to the south of the country to attack.

The enemy swept through several small cities and then prepared to attack Supu (present-day Changyuan County, Henan). It was a prosperous and wealthy city in the southern part of the country; Because it was located in the Central Plains, far away from the Rongdi forces, its defense work was not as complete as that of the northern cities.

At this time, there were only more than 200 chariots in Weiguo, and the number was about the same as the chariots used by Zheng Zhuang Gong when he attacked Taishu Duan eighty years ago. But the country is a country where almost all the people are soldiers, and the people are warlike and well-trained. The number of guards was insufficient (mainly due to equipment problems), but the number of local armed forces was huge. Any enemy will not only fight against the defenders, but also face the vast sea of the patriotic people.

The rulers of the country believed that this was a war that they could not afford to lose; Once the hinterland of the country is ravaged, the strength of the patriotic country will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the conclusion of Xing Guo's judgment that "the patriotic people are not only incapable of their own strength, but also strong outside and capable in the middle" has been fulfilled, and the self-confidence that the Chinese people have built up over the past ten years will fall apart.

Wei Wengong took the doctors to a temporary high platform in Taimiao Square and gave a speech to the Chinese gathered in front of him. He said: "Eighteen years ago, Chidi destroyed the guard, and the first monarch Yigong died in battle with many warriors; The following year, Chidi destroyed Xing, and Xing Bo was able to survive. Weiguo (Modu) originally had more than 100,000 people; After the destruction of the country, Dai Gong only collected 730 remnants, and three centurions could command the entire army! Many great families perished, and the ancestors of the family lost their sacrifices!

"There is no other country in the world that has suffered such a tragic calamity as the defense of the country; No country's monarchs, doctors, and countrymen can appreciate the extreme hatred that the patriots harbor for Yidi. Yi Di is a thief and a thief, a jackal, a tiger and a leopard in the defense of the country.

"The widow will not interfere in Xing's internal affairs, and Xing's recognition of thieves as relatives has nothing to do with defending the country. But the Xing people actually united with Yi Di in a vain attempt to destroy and defend the country again, so the Xing people became jackals in human skin, and became even more hateful enemies than Yi Di.

"The enemy forces are numerous and menacing. The talent is shallow and the country is in danger, unable to take on great responsibilities, and does not dare to die on the throne; If one of my father, brothers, and children is worthy of the task of saving the country, I will give him the throne and be willing to be the vanguard of the guard! ”

Wei Wengong's words aroused a strong sense of responsibility and fighting spirit among the people, and people cheered him, resolutely supported him to continue as a prince, and strongly demanded to follow Wen Gong on the expedition.
