After the Chu army defeated the Jin army in the Battle of Yi, the Chinese princes reacted differently according to the environment in which they lived; It is certainly not surprising that there are so many situations due to the different political positions of the countries, but it is the Song Kingdom that is most worried.

The Song State had a vassal called Xiao, and Xiao City was located in the northwest of Xiao County, Henan Province, on the north bank of the Gudan River, and was the east gate of the Song Kingdom. In the winter of the year of the Battle of Yi, King Chuzhuang led the whole country to attack Xiao. The Chu army fought three battles a year, and such a strong continuous combat capability really made the Chinese princes smack.

When the news of the battle reached the Song state, the Song people preferred to regard the invasion as an isolated military operation by the Chu army rather than as a harbinger of the attack on the Song dynasty. The Song people didn't want to give the Chu army the truth, so they did not intervene, but persuaded Cai Guo to save Xiao.

Xiong Xiangyi, the vanguard officer of the Chu army, and Wang Zibing led the army to the southern suburbs of Xiaocheng first. The Chu people saw that the city wall was lined with soldiers, holding faint weapons in their hands, glaring angrily at the city; Xiao Jun and the generals stood directly above the city gate.

Prince C drove out of the ranks, pointed his finger at Xiao Jun, and arrogantly demanded that he hand over "earth and water". One of Xiao Jun's sons immediately jumped on the battlements, lifted his battle robe, and poured a soak of urine on the prince and said, "The water has been given to you, and the soil is under your feet, so go back as soon as you finish taking it!" ”

Prince Bing was furious, and pointed Xiao Jun's nose and told him to go out of the city to die, otherwise he would be exiled to Yunmengze to catch Wang Ba. Xiao Jun slapped the battlements with a crackling sound: "You wait!" I'm afraid that you gang of miscellaneous things won't be successful? ”

The Chu army immediately retreated five miles to line up the array, and the Xiao army poured out. The two commanders of the Chu army were carried away by the anger, and it was only at this time that they came to their senses and recognized the situation: they were going to use a vanguard army against the enemy's entire army. But the Chu had no way to retreat, so they launched a suicidal attack, with the result that the army was almost completely wiped out and the commander became a prisoner of the enemy.

The main force of the Chu army rushed to the southern outskirts of Xiaocheng the next morning. The defeat in the first battle made the king of Chuzhuang have a bad premonition, he kept scolding the two of them for being "stupid", and after scolding, he sent an envoy into the city to meet Xiao Jun.

The messenger said, "Please don't kill the Chu prisoners of war. In return, the widow could withdraw his troops and swear not to invade Xiao Cheng again. ”

But the Xiao people believed that the words of the Chu people could not be trusted at all—otherwise the state of Chen would not have perished; Moreover, the two captives had been tortured to the point of madness; Only a fool would believe that the Chu people would swallow the knocked out teeth into their stomachs!

The Xiao people decided to carry out the stubbornness to the end: the sergeants simply hanged the two vanguard officers at the head of the city, showing the king of Chu Zhuang and tens of thousands of Chu troops two devastated corpses.

There was nothing more to arouse the anger of the people of Chu than a slap in the face in public, and the Chu army immediately pushed forward and surrounded Xiao Cheng.

Dr. Xiao still had no society to go out of the city to write a war letter, and the people of Chu forbade him to approach the military camp, and he had to wait in place. Not long after, Doctor Chu Sima Mao came out of the camp to see him. There was no society to hand over the war book to the other party, and the two chatted casually again.

Before she asked where Shen Shuzhan was, Sima Mao said that he was in the barracks. He raised his head and shouted at Chu Ying: "Uncle Shen, please come and talk to the front!" ”

Shen Shuzhan has a close personal relationship with the company, he has always been worried about the safety of the company, and now when he heard the company calling his name, he immediately drove out of the camp.

Shen Shuzhan didn't want the Chu people to think that he had any private communication with the enemy, so he parked the car twenty steps away from the Wu She.

Shen Shuzhan asked loudly, "Do you still have wheat koji?" ”

He didn't understand what he meant, and replied honestly: "No." ”

Shen Shuzhan continued to ask: "Is there a mountain bow that is poor?" ”

Both wheat koji and mountain bow can be used to get rid of dampness in the human body, and Shen Shuzhan means "When the war starts tomorrow, you have to hide under the mud to save your life." ”

But he still didn't know what was going on, and he replied, "No." ”

Shen Shuzhan frowned and said, "You don't have these medicines, what should you do if you get river fish abdominal disease (dampness)?" ”

Before he could realize it, he lowered his voice and said, "Seeing the dry wells can save me, but there are too many dry wells." ”

Shen Shuzhan said: "You put a rope at the mouth of the well, and if you hear someone crying on it, that person is me." ”

The winter nights in the Central Plains are very cold, a kind of damp cold, piercing the organs and bones. In such temperatures, the aborigines shut themselves in their rooms, draped in robes, lit braziers, and shivered with cold; And the situation of the thinly dressed Chu ** soldiers camping in the suburbs is very sad.

Shen Gong Wuchen reminded the king of Chu Zhuang: "The king has a fox fur and a thick tent, but the soldiers are thinly dressed; As the king of a country and an example of the Chu people, you can't enjoy the warmth alone. After hearing this, King Chuzhuang changed into the same clothes as ordinary soldiers, walked out of the big tent and began to patrol the camp. He offered condolences to the soldiers, encouraged them, praised them for their dedication, and promised them rich rewards. The soldiers were so touched that they all felt as warm as if they were wearing silk clothes.

That night, Xiao was defeated. Refugees poured out like locusts from all directions, rushing forward like madness and recklessness, killing people and destroying cars. The Chu army was not familiar with the terrain, and the reinforcements of the Cai State were not far to the west, so the soldiers had to symbolically intercept the Xiao people, but they did not dare to pursue the people who rushed out of the encirclement.

When the sun rose the next day, the last remaining Xiao army did not want to flee shamefully, and the army went out of the city under the leadership of Xiao Jun and his sons. Both sides marched with drums at the same time, and the Chu army swallowed up the enemy army with a single charge. The Chu army then entered Xiao City, and what they got was an empty city full of disarray.

Shen Shuzhan searched everywhere in the name of cleaning up the scene, but there was no company, and he didn't care about the corpses but specifically looked for the dry well. Shen Shuzhan soon found a rope resting on the edge of a well, so he came to the mouth of the well and let out a sad sound, and there was no society to learn frog barking at the bottom of the well; Shen Shuzhan threw down the rope and pulled him to the ground, thus saving his friend's life.

At the time of the Chu State War, the Jin State Xianyu, the Song State Huajiao, the Wei State Kong Da and the Cao Ren were holding an alliance meeting in Qingqiu, and the theme of the alliance meeting was "compassion for the sick and begging for the second"; Although this "two" was not clearly defined, the participants felt that it was Chen Guo.

The Jin people knew that it was pure fantasy to try to recover the decline through an alliance, but they really couldn't find any other way. At the meeting, the Jin people ignored the actual situation of the Central Plains princes and imposed their will on the participating countries. The participants were harmonious on the surface, but they had their own hearts in their hearts - in the following two years, Wei Guo and Song Guo fought in a confused manner, Kong Da was forced to commit suicide, Xian Yu was killed in chaos, and the Qingqiu Alliance became an alliance that began to be chaotic and eventually abandoned.
