Xun Lin's father said: "Since we don't have time to save Zheng, don't disturb the Zheng people anymore." Although Zheng Guo established an alliance with Chu, he was also forced to be helpless, and it is not too late for us to crusade against Zheng Guo next year. ”

The priest would say, "I agree." Before we left the division, we only divined and rescued Zheng Guo, but we did not start a war with Zheng and Chu, and we were not ready to go to war. I've heard: 'Use troops at the right time.'" The moral, criminal, political affairs, and ceremonies of the Chu State have not changed, and our army cannot fight against the Chu army.

"The punishment of crusade and betrayal, and the virtue of surrender of Huairou, these two things have been achieved by the Chu State. The Chu army entered Chen last year and Zheng this year, and the soldiers were not tired, and the people had no complaints; The domestic agricultural industry and commerce were not affected by the war, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the political affairs were also done. Jiang Ao used the edict to govern the country, and all the officials could perform their duties, and the military and government were not guarded; Chu Jun used the system to select officials, the noble and the low, the young and the old orderly, and the ceremony was also done.

"How can such an army fight him? The use of soldiers pays attention to 'advancing when they see what they can see, and retreating when they know the difficulties.' 'Annexation of the weak, the offensive is the way of war. Let's go back to China and rearm ourselves, there are so many weak and ignorant countries, why bother to attack the Chu army? ”

Xianyu jumped up and shouted, "No! The reason why the Jin State became the overlord was because of the strength of the military division. The great enemy does not dare to fight at present, and it cannot be called 'Wu', and if Zheng Guo is lost but cannot be recaptured, it cannot be called 'force'. Hegemony is lost from us people, we might as well die!

"It's true that before leaving the division, I only divined and saved Zheng, but didn't I have to start a war against the Chu army to save Zheng? Now that I heard that the enemy is now afraid, is that still a big husband? When he left the division, he was the commander of the three armies, but when he went back, he was laughed at as a girl, you can bear it, I can't! I'm going to fight alone! With that, he rushed out like a demon in full view of everyone.

After returning to the garrison, Xianyu immediately gathered his subordinates and crossed the Yellow River with this army. Regarding the deputy's blatant disobedience, Xun Lin's father was helpless and was powerless to stop it.

The current cabinet of the Jin State has many problems and contradictions. The main reason is that the doctors are working separately and Zhengqing has no prestige. In the cabinet, only Xun Lin's father and Shihui participated in the Battle of Chengpu thirty-five years ago, and the two belonged to the oldest ministers.

Xun Xi was entrusted by the Jin Xiangong to protect Xi Qi as the king, so he was regarded by the Jin people as the leader of the Liji Party, which meant that he was the enemy of almost all the Jin people.

After Jin Huigong came to power, the Xun family was ruthlessly suppressed. However, the Jin people hated Hui Gong and his favored retainers, and later turned to sympathize with the Xun family. After Jin Wengong ascended the throne, under the unanimous initiative of the ministers, Jin Wengong reactivated Xun Lin's father, who was hoeing the land in the field at that time, to show that he would not forget Xun Xi's outstanding exploits. Xun Lin's father started as a royal soldier of Duke Wen of Jin, experienced several civil strife and foreign wars, and rose to the position of Shangqing step by step.

The father and son of Xianzhen and Xian Heju have served as Chinese military generals continuously, which is unique in the history of the Jin Kingdom and is the honor of the Xian family; Xianyu regarded the exploits established by his predecessors as his arrogant capital, so he especially looked down on Xun Lin's father, who was in great contrast with his own background. After the death of Xun Que, Xianyu and Xun Lin's father fought for Shangqing unsuccessfully, and there was a heavy resentment in his heart, so he opposed Xun Lin's father everywhere.

In the face of this emergency, the doctors didn't know what to do for a while. Xun Lin's father's brother Xun Shoubu made a hexagram, and the hexagram changed from "Shi" (Kanxia Kunshang) to "Lin" (to Xia Kunshang).

Xun Shou said with a heavy heart: "This teacher is dead! "Zhou Yi" said: 'The teacher is disciplined, and the murderer is not punished'. The soldiers obey the military order for Zang, violate the military order or not, 'Kan' is Dachuan, and it represents the army, and the 'Kan' hexagram has changed to 'Dui', and the military spirit will be dispersed! The dispersion of the military will weaken the combat power, and the congestion of the river will become a swamp.

"The Art of War says; Governing the masses is like governing the widows', and commanding the three armies is like commanding one person, which is to admonish the soldiers to strictly abide by military orders. Now the military order is not good, just like the congestion of a big river and turning into a swamp, and the swamp is the easiest to dry up, so if you encounter the Chu army, defeat will be a foregone conclusion. All of this is caused by Yu Zi (the fief of the first is 彘), and even if he can return alive, there will definitely be a big disaster. ”

Han Ju said to Xun Lin's father: "You are in danger with a biased teacher, your sin is great!" Who should be held primarily responsible for subordinates disobeying military orders? If defeated, it is a felony. Why don't you cross the river with the whole army! Even if you are defeated, the sin of one man will be shared among six people, and you will not die for your sin. ”

Shihui said: "Dr. Han is right, he kidnapped half of the Chinese army alone. We can't give up on the kidnapped soldiers, there is no other way but to cross the river! The other doctors agreed, and the Jin army then crossed the Yellow River as a whole.

When he landed on the south bank, his exuberant enthusiasm immediately vanished. He knew the consequences of disobeying military orders, and he also had a great fear of the Chu army, he looked at the thousands of people behind him, and the sergeants also looked at him with gloomy faces; He didn't know whether to move forward or return, so he stayed where he was. Soon he saw that all the Jin troops began to cross the river, and he regained his invincible face.

On the other hand, since the Chu army had never seen the Yellow River in its history, the king of Chu Zhuang planned to drink the Yellow River and return to his division - an action that would be a great feat for him to boast about to his ancestors and his countrymen.

When the Chu division marched to the land of Xiandi (near present-day Zhengzhou), the king of Chu Zhuang received news that the Jin army had crossed the river. The excitement in his heart vanished, and he suddenly felt a basin of cold water on his head and ice in his arms. The king of Chuzhuang had no intention of clashing with the Jin army, so he summoned the generals to the military tent and gave them the order to return to the division.

Wu Shen was the first to jump out to oppose it, he strongly demanded to face the Jin army, and if the war could not be avoided, then he would not hesitate to start a full-scale war with the Jin army.

Uncle Sun Ao Su couldn't look down on the young man who acted flamboyantly and liked to express himself, and he angrily reprimanded: "Chu Shi entered Chen last year and Zheng this year, and there is nothing that has not been successfully completed in all the battles. Now that the enemy is present, once defeated will be lost, will you have enough meat for me to eat by then? ”

Wu Shen said: "If the Chu army wins, it will be a mistake for Lord Yin; If you don't win, my meat will be in the Jin people, and you won't be able to eat it! ”

King Chu Zhuang was obviously moved by Wu Shen's words, and he began to think about whether to adopt Wu Shen's opinion. Seeing that King Chuzhuang looked hesitant, Uncle Sun Ao rushed out of the military tent and ordered the camp to be withdrawn.
