Jin Xianggong held a grand ceremony for the victorious army to enter the city. After mourning the ancestors, Jin Xianggong used the three lives to serve as the general of the Chinese army to commemorate the outstanding contributions of the ancestors to the country.

However, this decision was widely questioned by the ministers: first, the reason for the appointment itself was not sufficient, and the Duke of Jin Xianggong could have replaced the title of knighthood by increasing the fiefdom of the Xian clan; Second, he was only a doctor, and he had neither qualifications nor experience in governing the country and using soldiers.

But the next reward, everyone still agrees. Jin Xianggong ordered Xianmao's fief to Xu Chen again, because he recommended Xun Que. In the end, the Duke of Jin Xianggong ordered Xu Chen to serve his life as the secretary, and returned Jiyi to him. However, according to the setting of one army and two secretaries, there are only five Jin troops, but eleven secretaries have appeared, so Yin Que only has the name of the secretary but not the right of the secretary, and he must wait until the positions of others are vacant before he can obtain the corresponding military power.

After Ziyu was defeated and committed suicide, Lu Chen became the new Ling Yin of the Chu State. The people of Chu generally believe that it was precisely because Lu Chen had no lofty ambitions and no blood for a tooth, and the state of Chu needed a period of dormancy, so King Cheng of Chu granted him that position.

The people of Chu have a general evaluation of Bao Luchen, thinking that he is too mediocre, but Xinling Yin is not as bad as the evaluation of the country. At his suggestion, King Cheng of Chu sent an envoy to the Jin State in the spring of the 32nd year of the reign of Lu Xu, and the Duke of Wen of Jin immediately sent Yang Virgin to pay a return visit to the Chu State; In this way, the two countries formally established diplomatic relations.

Father Yang had extensive exchanges with the doctors of Chu State, and he analyzed the trend of the political situation in Chu State, and speculated that Dou Bo would become the next Ling Yin, so he focused on strengthening his relationship with Dou Bo. Dou Bo cautiously accepted the friendship of Yang Virgin's father, but the relationship between the two was explained very maliciously by the prince of Chu Shangchen, and he kept instilling his own explanation to King Chu Cheng.

After completing his historical mission, he died, and the dormant period of the Chu State came to an end, and the country continued to embark on the road of expansion. King Chu Cheng believes that Ziyu is dead, and now the only person who can take on the responsibility of defeating the Jin State is Zishang. So he appointed Dou Bo as the next Ling Yin.

After Jin Guoji's victory over Bai Di, envoys from all over the world came to congratulate him; But the people of Xu Guoren still "stubbornly" stood on the side of the Chu State and did not make the slightest move. The people of the Jin people were annoyed, and first said: "If you don't take Xu Guo, the hegemony of the Jin State will not be guaranteed!" Then the Jin people gathered Chen and Zheng to surround Xudu.

King Chu Cheng said at a court meeting: "The Chosen King of the Jin Kingdom has died. Why did Heaven take him away so quickly? Probably dissatisfied with him! Today's Marquis of Jin is just a little ram in estrus, and his heart is full of those bad things. The monarch of the Jin State is weak and the ministers are strong, and the power is in the hands of the Qing doctor, and it has begun to weaken. The state of Chu has recovered its vitality, Bugu will never allow it to continue to do mischief, Bugu will take the opportunity to save Xu to take Chen, Cai, and Zheng back, it's time to drive the Jin people back to Taihang Mountain. ”

Ling Yin Zishang said: "Of course, the state of Chu has to go north, and it is natural to conquer Chen and Cai. However, Zheng Guo is different, the national university and the new monarch are attached to the Jin state, and the minister thinks that he still needs to wait for the opportunity. ”

The crown prince Shangchen said: "Duke Zheng Wen and Duke Wen of Jin have just passed away, Zilan has not yet gained a stable foothold, now is a good opportunity to pull Zheng Guo over, do you want to wait for Zilan to take full power and the Jin State to recover its strength before crusading against Zheng Guo?" ”

Childe was also eager to try, and he couldn't wait to return to Xinzheng in order to ascend to the position that had never belonged to him. He packed a ticket to King Chu Cheng and said that as long as the Chu army could be used as foreign aid, he would definitely be able to contact the domestic party and cooperate with the outside to overthrow Zilan's rule.

Shang Chen and Dou Jiao were also inciting the emotions of King Chu Cheng on the side, and King Chu Cheng's attitude towards Zishang gradually became dissatisfied, and he said: "What other opinions does Ling Yin have on Fa Zheng?" If he still disagrees, Ling Yin will go to attack Chen and Cai, and Bugu will send Da Sima to Zheng Guo. ”

Zishang was forced to go up the cliff in this way, and he had to express his obedience to King Cheng's orders.

Zishang led his division to invade Chen and Cai first. These two countries themselves have a deep relationship with the Chu State, and the monarch does not want to ruin his country for any "loyalty and position", so the people of the two countries opened the city gate and happily welcomed the Chu people into the city.

The Chu army won two victories without blood, and their morale was suddenly greatly boosted. Zishang gathered two ** teams of Chen and Cai to attack Xinzheng in the north.

However, the Chu people made a mistake in their strategy towards Zheng: with Zheng Mugong's sophisticated and sleek style of doing things, he was not unable to make peace with the Chu people, but he would never allow the Chu people to put Gongzi's hatred on the throne.

Zheng's army rallied and confronted the invaders at the Gate of Orange in the southern suburbs. The first battle between the two sides was quite intense. Zheng Ren's intention is very clear, as long as he kills Gongzi, all losses and consequences can be accepted. The coalition forces were therefore astonished to find that all the Zheng troops were attacking in one direction, and the soldiers screamed, and soon tore a hole in the array; Zheng Jun rushed forward desperately, not caring about the threat from the side.

Childe was soon exposed to his compatriots, and it was only then that he understood his brother's intentions. Childe was so frightened that he immediately drove around and ran wildly, and his compatriots chased after him. Zishang also figured out the tactics of the Zheng people, and he kept mobilizing troops to strengthen the protection of Zifang, but the Zheng army gathered more and more.

When passing by the shore of Zhou's Wang, Gongzi suddenly noticed a terrifying reflection floating in the water, and the reflection stopped Gongzi and said, "You must have heard of me, I am Yongjiao." I have been alone in the king of the Zhou clan for seventy years, and no rebels and thieves have passed by here. You've come just in time, come down and be with me. ”

The pursuers saw Childe flawed in the water from a distance, and then he suddenly drove madly towards the middle of the pond, the wheel hit a stone in the water, and the car overturned instantly, holding Childe in the water, and he struggled for a moment before moving.

Gongzi was bizarrely drowned in the Zhou family. Zheng Guoren dragged his body onto the chariot into Xinzheng, and the commander immediately gave the order to withdraw the troops. Zishang saw that the purpose of the attack had not been achieved, and he didn't want to have too much grudge with Zheng Guo, so he also collected his troops and returned to the camp.

The Zheng people brought Gongzibian's body into the palace, and the doctors demanded that his body be abandoned in the city for public display, but Madame Wen cried and said, "Although Zibian has committed a great crime, he has been punished." He is the son of the first monarch and the descendant of King Li, and he can no longer be insulted by the abandonment of the city! ”

The doctors did not dare to disobey Mrs. Wen's wishes, and they were all silent. Zheng Mugong didn't say anything, and Mrs. Wen buried Zibian under the city wall of Yicheng.

Due to the attack on the country, the Zheng army was forced to withdraw its troops from the state of Xu, and the siege of the state of Xu was naturally lifted. The Chu army left Zheng and set off for his division after resting for two days in Cai State. The Jin people were outraged by this outcome, and they could not tolerate the Chu army abducting two allies so easily, while the Xu state was unscathed. Father Yang ordered the army to march south, and he said to his subordinates that how Chu took away Cai Guo, he would take it back.

As soon as the Chu army entered Fangcheng Mountain, they got the battle report. Zishang grumbled, and had to order the whole army to turn back and walk in unison. The Chu army ran wildly, and the army soon marched to the south bank of Lushui (now Shashui), and the Jin army happened to arrive on the north bank at this time, and the two armies faced each other. Both sides were reluctant to take the initiative to cross the river to attack each other, because except for Song Xianggong, the god of justice, there was no one in the world who did not understand the truth of "attacking half-help".

As the days passed, the initial tension on both sides had vanished, and the sergeants spent their days just staring at the enemy across the river in a daze. Although the days were very peaceful, the troubles of the Jin army were coming, because they were about to run out of food and grass. The Chu army's grain and grass were very sufficient, but Zishang heard that the prince Shangchen had been saying bad things about himself in King Cheng's ear, so he also wanted to fight quickly. The two sides of the confrontation appear to be uneventful, but in fact they are all anxious.
