In this way, as long as Qi Xiaogong lives, he is Gongzi Yuan's biggest enemy.

Gongzi Yuan was hiding in his uncle Wei Wengong's house at this time to beg for a living, although Gongzi Yuan was powerless to retaliate against Qi Xiaogong, but he said a lot of bad things about the other party. Qi Xiaogong wanted to do something to take revenge on Gongzi Yuan, but he was grateful that Wei Wengong had made great contributions to his accession to the throne, so he did not take action for the time being.

The return of the sons meant that the relationship between the Qi State and the Di people had returned to normal. Xing Bo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this situation, he ran to the state of Qi and asked Qi Xiaogong to initiate the first alliance after his accession to the throne to continue the hegemony of Qi Huangong. Qi Xiaocheng had this intention, so in the autumn of this year, Qi and Di held an alliance meeting in Xingguo, which marked the formal establishment of an alliance between Qi, Di and Xing.

The Patriots were deeply worried: Qi Xiaogong showed Wei Wengong with practical actions that Qi was no longer his ally, and that Wei needed to find a strong backer to fight against the Qi and Xing alliances.

In the twenty-first year of the reign of Lu Xi Gong (BC639), Song Xianggong was calculated by the Chu people in the Lushang Alliance, and became the biggest laughing stock in the world (this matter will be described in detail later); But the patriots keenly smelled the opportunity to get out of the predicament. Wei Wengong quietly extended an olive branch to the people of Chu, and the people of Chu were surprised and happy, and King Cheng of Chu promised that if Wei Guo encountered trouble, Chu would immediately provide military help.

During this period, Qi Xiaogong focused on the people of the Song and Lu countries, and had no time to take care of defending the country. For the next three years, the Qi people still needed the support of the Patriotic Nation; Due to the existence of the Qi State, Wei and Xing were in a relatively peaceful state on the surface, but Wei Wengong had already laid out the plan for destroying Xing.

In the twenty-fourth year of the reign of Lu Xun (636 BC), there was a turmoil in the country. At this time, Wei Wengong's health was no longer very good, and one of his unsuccessful sons wanted to take the opportunity to murder the prince and replace him.

Wei Wengong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and severe punishment of the murderer. There is a fate at the top, and there must be something at the bottom: with the hard work of a group of cool officials, the incident began to ferment non-stop; In order to cater to the will of the monarch and to take advantage of the opportunity, the cool officials killed many innocent people and robbed their property.

The troublemaker has a friend named "Lizhi", and he was also targeted by the villains soon after the incident. It didn't matter if he was involved in the conspiracy or not, because the villains wouldn't give him a chance to plead his case. Lizhi felt that the danger was getting closer and closer, so he went to see Wei Wengong before the danger came.

Lizhi said: "Childe is guilty, his friends fled to death, and the minister can't get rid of the relationship." But instead of being ambushed as a criminal, it is better to do something for the destruction of Xingguo. If the prince could not control Yiyi's defenses, he would not be able to occupy Xing. Therefore, the ministers took this opportunity to go into exile in Xing as an internal response for the prince to attack Xing. ”

Wei Wengong knew Lizhi very well and knew that he was a gentleman who did what he said and valued his reputation more than his life.

Wei Wengong said: "Whether you are guilty or not, I will not limit you to this chaos. But you want to use this to realize the great plan of the widow to destroy the Xing country, and the widow dares to disapprove? ”

So the two rehearsed an action scene: Duke Wei Wen ordered someone to capture the Li Zhi brothers, and the brothers fought their way through the protective sword of their followers, and killed two of Duke Wen's favorite ministers, and then fled to Xingguo.

The Lizhi brothers were well-known figures in the defense of the country, and they were also tactical experts in defensive warfare, and they had repeatedly crushed the enemy's siege operations. After Xing Bo secretly investigated the ins and outs of the incident, he no longer doubted the purpose of the two's refuge.

At that time, the person in charge of the defense of the capital was the doctor Guozi, who said: "Only the defenders understand the advantages and disadvantages of the guards, please equip the courtesy brothers with the ministers." Xing Bo immediately appointed the brothers as the adjutant of the city's defense.

At the time of the wax moon, Wei Wengong felt that his health was deteriorating; He knew that his fate would not be long, and he also knew that the crown prince Zheng (later Wei Chenggong) would never realize his bitter hatred for Xing and the strategic significance of destroying the enemy country, so he decided to fulfill his long-cherished wish to destroy Xing before returning to the west.

Duke Wei Wen sent an envoy to Xing State, condemning Xing Bo for taking in Wei Guo's traitors, and demanding that the other party hand over the gift to his brother. Xing Bo waved his hand contemptuously and drove the envoys out of the capital very rudely.

Wei Wengong then recruited an army of the country and personally led a large army to attack Xingguo. The guards captured several cities in Xingguo in succession, marched all the way, and soon came to the outskirts of Yiyi. Xing's army was arrayed under the city, and the two sides launched another offensive battle; Xing Guo suffered a big and small defeat, and then retreated into the city and held out.

Xing Ren knew that Wei Wengong was about to die, so he planned to use time to kill him; The Guards began to prepare ladders and siege engines.

Xing sent a letter to Qi asking for help, and Xing believed that as long as they survived until reinforcements arrived, the guards would retreat without a fight. Rex and his brother plan a suicidal adventure and pass it on through spies.

On the afternoon of the twelfth day of the first month of the spring month of the twenty-fifth year of Lu Xi Gong (BC635), the Lizhi brothers followed the country to patrol the city. The brothers were very tall, half a head taller than Kuniko, and they followed him step by step.

As Kuniko crouched on the battlements, facing the enemy to observe the situation, the brothers suddenly raised his arms from the left and the right, like a child. Guozi's feet couldn't touch the ground, and he couldn't help but scream, and the sound was chilling. Under the gaze of 10,000 people, the two of them swept the country out of the city wall with his head down. Kuniko hit his head on the ground and died of anger on the spot.

The defending sergeants were all stunned, and not a single one dared to come up and attack them. Just when the atmosphere of the scene froze, Li Zhi's pre-arranged subordinates killed the guards and opened the city gate, and the guards suddenly poured in like a tide. Xing Bo led the guards to fight to the death, and finally all of them were martyred. Xing Ren was unable to continue to resist, so he had to lay down his arms; Later, Duke Wei Wen entered the city, and the state of Xing perished.

In order to commemorate this feat, Lizhi specially cast a copper plate, and the inscription on the plate reads: "Yu Ye kills the son of the country, don't dare to stop Yu." ”

Wei Wengong finally completed his major mission; It was only at this time that he completely relaxed, handed over the affairs of state to the crown prince Zheng and the eldest doctor Ning Yu, and moved to the suburban palace with a few friends. When he felt that his life was near, he returned to the palace again; On April 19, Wei Wengong, a generation of Ming monarchs, passed away in the main bed. Prince Zheng ascended the throne for Wei Chenggong.

In the 400 years since the founding of the country, Xing has made great efforts and sacrifices to block Chidi's southward movement. Xing Guo sympathized with Wei Guo because of Di Nan, and turned against Wei Guo because of Qi Nan. The demise of Xing Guo has no inevitability, it is just a encounter with Wei Wengong's bitter and bitter paranoia.
