After that, the envoys went back and forth between the two armies. Neither side wants to take the initiative to attack, and they are unwilling to retreat first; In order to solve this dilemma, the two sides decided to hold an alliance. Most people are happy because people don't have to face a war with unpredictable outcome, but it must be extremely tragic.

The large camps of the two armies stretched for more than a dozen miles, and the nearest place was no more than a few miles apart. Scouts and woodcutters on both sides inevitably ran into each other from time to time, and the situation of bicycles to the division also occurred from time to time, so skirmishes continued. But the generals on both sides exercised the necessary restraint and did not escalate the skirmish.

The date of the alliance has been set, but not many people know about it, and it is limited to the top of both sides; The people below still do whatever they have to do.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, as long as the warring parties did not sign a contract, it was not forbidden to ride a bicycle. On this day, Lebo, Xu Bo and Uncle Regent of Chu planned to attack the Jin army. The three of them boarded the chariot, Xu Bo Yurong, and Uncle Shi was the right of the chariot.

Xu Bo said: "I have heard that to the master, the royal Rong must gallop and close to the enemy's camp to complete the task. ”

Uncle Regent said: "I have heard that the right side of the car must break into the enemy camp, kill the enemy and cut off the left ear, and then capture the enemy alive. ”

Lebo said: "I have heard that the left side of the chariot must kill the enemy with sharp arrows, and when the right side of the chariot enters the enemy camp, he must get off the chariot instead of Yu Rong and tidy up the martingale. ”

The trio encouraged each other and drove towards the Jin camp, where their target was an outpost of the Jin army. Xu Bo drove the chariot and rushed towards the target; Loeb quickly shot two sentries; Uncle Setter jumped out of his chariot and rushed into the barracks, killing a soldier, cutting off his left ear, and running out with a stunned captive. By this time, Lebo had finished tidying up the martingale, and Uncle Setter threw the prisoners into the chariot and jumped up.

The camp of the Jin army suddenly became noisy, and the lookouts pointed at the enemy and shouted. Jin Dafu Bao Hui led several chariots to attack quickly. The chariots of the Jin people were divided into left and right, trying to steal Lebo from the two loaves. Lebo fired his bow and arrows left and right, but the Jin people were not afraid and still pursued closely.

Lebo soon found that only the last arrow was left in the quiver, but the Chu army camp was still far away. But the enemy is getting closer and closer, and he doesn't know what to do; At this time, an elk was frightened and suddenly crossed in front of the car, and Lebo raised his hand to shoot it with an arrow, and then ordered Xu Bo to stop and let Uncle Regent sacrifice the dead deer to the Jin people.

The chariots of the Jin people surrounded them, and the soldiers pointed their weapons at the three men, glaring at them angrily. Uncle Tsuki picked up the dead deer and calmly came to Bao Gui's car, and said, "It's not yet the hunting season, so you don't have any game to enjoy, this elk is a little bit of our heart!" ”

Bao Ji motioned to his subordinates to put away their weapons, ordered someone to collect the dead deer, and said to Uncle Regent: "Give us the prisoners, and you can leave." "He was indignant on both the right and left, and demanded that the enemy be killed. Bao Hui said: "The Chu people are not chaotic in the face of danger, the left of the car is good at shooting, and the right of the car is good at speaking, they are all admirable gentlemen. ”

Xianyu made up his mind to fight Xun Lin's father to the end, and he was bent on sabotaging the Jin-Chu negotiations. But he felt that he was alone, so he encouraged Zhao Zhan and Wei Qi and others to rebel.

Wei Qi was furious and asked Xun Lin's father to teach the enemy's bicycle, but he was not approved. Wei Qi then changed his face and asked to send an envoy to the Chu army. Xun Lin's father told him not to make provocative acts against the Chu people, and Wei Qi swore an oath in order to achieve his ulterior purpose.

Zhao Zhan also asked for a teacher, but was still refused; He also asked to summon the Chu people to join the alliance, and this request was granted, and he also went to the Chu people.

"Two people with grudges are leaving, and a big war is about to break out, so we must immediately strengthen our defenses. ”

Xianyu said: "The Zheng people persuaded us to fight, but we did not agree; The Chu people invited the alliance, and we put on a fighting posture again. Now the outcome of the alliance is not yet known, and strengthening the guard will only make the Chu State suspicious. ”

The scholar said: "We should still be prepared, if the two provoke the Chu people and the enemy launches a surprise attack, we will lose our army; If there is no malice in the state of Chu, we will lift our guard and participate in the alliance, how can we damage the relationship between the two countries? Moreover, since ancient times, whenever the princes participate in the alliance of military vehicles, the army must strengthen its vigilance. ”

Xianyu still disagreed, and the Shihui did not continue to entangle with him, so he rushed back to the army with Xun Ke. The Shihui ordered Gongshuo and Han Chong to arrange seven lines of defense along the terrain of Aoshan from the bottom to the top. When Zhao Yingqi heard the wind, he ordered his subordinates to gather ferries by the river, ready to flee to the other side at any time.

After Wei Qi entered the Chu camp, he asked the other party to fight. The people of Chu almost didn't believe their ears, and Wu Shen looked at Wei Qi with a complicated expression and said, "The envoy of your country just agreed to hold an alliance meeting yesterday, why did it completely change in one day?" ”

Wei Qi replied: "The doctors don't dare to inquire about the reason, they are just carrying out the general's order!" ”

Wei Qi drove out of the enemy camp in a car. He was still angry, and suddenly attacked an outpost of the Chu army, thus fulfilling the wish of the division. The Chu people raised the alarm, and Pan Dang, the son of Pan Yu, was furious and immediately pursued with several chariots.

Wei Qi returned fire with his bow and arrow, and soon only one arrow remained in his quiver bag. Just as his life was hanging by a thread, he suddenly saw six elk jumping in front of him, so he shot one of them in Leber's way, and offered his prey to Pan Dang.

Pan Dang said: "Although this person is capricious, he is really smart enough; The Jin people still don't kill gentlemen, although this person is not a gentleman, but at least he is a warrior; And I can't be inferior to Bao Gui. So he took the elk and let Wei Qi go.

Immediately after the return of the rebels, King Chuzhuang convened an emergency military meeting. King Chuzhuang said at the meeting: "The situation is far from being as optimistic as we imagined, the Jin people are like children who are willful and petty, Bugu is very worried about their capriciousness, and he does not allow the Jin people to continue to play Bugu." Therefore, Bugu wanted to send an envoy to meet Xun Qing to express Buya's sincerity to peace and his determination not to be afraid of war. ”

Pan Dang said: "The king should no longer have illusions about the Jin people. The Xun clan is no longer able to control the situation, and even if the two countries reluctantly sign an alliance, it is difficult for us to expect the Jin people to abide by it. There must be a big battle in Jin and Chu, and instead of waiting for the Jin people to be in harmony, it is better to take this opportunity to fight with the enemy. ”

Sun Shuao said: "The phenomenon of internal discord exists in any country, for example, you (Pan Dang) and I am like this now. The covenant is subject to the approval of the two monarchs, and if a courtier breaks the contract, he will first be punished by the Marquis of Jin, so where is the need for us to do it?

"Now that the six secretaries of the Jin State are basically the main peacemakers, Wei Qi's coming to ask for war is definitely not the Xun family's original intention, this person who provoked the incident is just a small character who does not enter the stream. The minister agreed that the king should send an envoy to inform the Jin people of this matter, and if it was only Wei Qi's decision alone, he would naturally be punished; Once Wei Qi was punished, those who had the same thoughts as him would not dare to move. ”
