Duochen and Liuhu were once powerful countries in the past, and the two countries lost the struggle with Lu for the hegemony of Chidi. In order to retaliate against its former adversaries, Lu severely suppressed and exploited the two countries.

The monarchs of the two countries hated Yu Shu to death, so they swore to the envoy that they would not send another soldier, and the two monarchs signed an alliance with the Jin state and paid hostages. When the Jin received the letter of alliance, they immediately began to trumpet the news of the alliance with the two countries and urged the allied forces of the Lu clan to launch a rebellion.

The people in Quliang City were panicked for a while, and the soldiers of the coalition army had their own concerns, and wherever Yu Shu went, he felt that the eyes of others looking at him were full of cold hostility, and he no longer believed in anyone.

Given the possibility of a mutiny in the city at any time, Yushu decided to take the initiative rather than be beaten passively. But in the eyes of others, this order is not so much that Yu Shu wants to fight against the water, but that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

In the early morning of June 18, all the gates of Quliang City suddenly opened, and the Chidi coalition army attacked from all the gates.

But the Jin people asked them to pick up their weapons and attack the Lu army, and then a big scuffle broke out. The allies of the Lu army all defected, and the Lu army was fearless in the face of an enemy several times its size, fighting desperately, and the soldiers still fantasized about the miracle of victory until the last moment of their lives. As a result, only a small number of people broke through the encirclement, while the main force was killed and wounded; Their commander, Yu Shu, shamefully disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and fled.

The coalition forces captured Quliang City at noon and rested there for two days. In the early morning of the third day, the coalition forces continued to march towards Lucheng; On the eighth day, the kingdom of Lu fell. Luzi Baby led the doctors to open the city gate and surrender to the Jin army, and when he saw Xun Lin's father, he still had a bitter look on his face, "It's not about the widow".

Xun Lin's father reduced all the Lu people to slavery according to the instructions of Jin Jinggong, rewarded half of the population to the various departments of the coalition army, and moved the other half to the Jin State; The same is true for seized property.

Although Duochen, Liuhu and other countries sent troops to join the Jin Alliance, because the soldiers were able to defect in the Battle of Quliang, Xun Lin's father did not punish the countries, but only sent them back after holding an alliance meeting with the monarchs of several countries.

While Xun Lin's father was dealing with the aftermath, the Li people asked for permission to return to the country. This request was granted, and they then made an excessive request: they actually wanted to give Lucheng to the Li clan!

Father Xun Lin sank his face and said in his usual thick voice and unhurried rhythm: "Lu City is a city of sin and the birthplace of a hundred years of war. The widow sent orders before he set out on the expedition, and destroyed Lucheng once he captured it; And said: 'Those who dare to restore Lucheng will be punished!' Do you still want to keep this bane?' The Li people hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands.

The coalition forces returned home one after another with their booty, and the Jin army left last; The army smashed the walls and burned the city to the ground before returning to the division.

When Jin Jinggong received the battle report, he immediately began to prepare for a grand triumphal ceremony for Xun Lin's father, and a grand funeral for Zhao Shuo. The Jin people were ecstatic at the unprecedented victory, but also grieved at the loss of Zhao Shuo and a large number of warriors. Zhao Zhuangji was attached to filial piety, hugged the young Zhao Wu, and replied to the people who came to mourn. Her expression was not so much numbness as strength, she had already felt the early death of her husband, but she did not expect him to die so tragically.

The envoys of the Jin Kingdom poured out of the nest and informed the nations of the earth-shattering achievements of the destruction of the Lu Kingdom; The envoys of the princes flocked in, and the people carried heavy gifts to express their great sycophancy to the Duke of Jin Jinggong, and their faces were no longer the gloating attitude they showed after the battle of Yi.

Yu Shu and Yan Ru ran to Weiguo because they knew that Weiguo and Jin had always been at odds. However, the road was narrow, and as soon as the two of them arrived at Weiguo, Gongsun Su returned home in a hurry.

Wei Mugong vaguely remembered the appearance of the old cousin in front of him when he was young, and in the blink of an eye, Gongsun Su had been a slave in Lu for nearly thirty years, and the uncle and nephew couldn't help but hug and cry.

Crying and crying, Wei Mugong couldn't help but burst into laughter, and he said: "The widow wants to give my uncle a peerless gift, which is enough to compensate for the suffering that my uncle has suffered for thirty years. After saying that, he passed Yu Shu to the court.

Gongsun Su said: "If there are no Jin people, I am afraid that the minister will die of old age in Lu State; The Jin people need this enemy more than the minister, if the prince can still remember the minister's old exploits, give him to the Jin people! The end of Yushu was thus determined

The defenders escorted the two to the Jin Kingdom, and Jin Jinggong said: "They not only killed the widow's sister, but also killed many warriors of the Jin Kingdom. Let the Chinese decide what will happen to them. The two were then thrown into the bazaar, and the angry Jin rushed up, tearing them to nothing in the blink of an eye.

The Duke of Jin Jing rewarded Xun Lin's father with 1,000 slaves, and rewarded Shiwuxun with a county. He said to Shi Wuzhuo: "The widow has obtained the land of Chidi, and Xun Boli has made great contributions; But if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the widow would have lost Xun Bo long ago. ”

In the month after the triumph of the Jin army, Xun Lin's father's house was full of people, and visitors were not interrupted, and people who usually had no contact also appeared; Xun Lin's father not only has to receive visitors, but also to pay a return visit.

He couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he quietly hid in the house of a low-ranking official. But soon rumors came out about Xun Lin's father being "indifferent and ruthless", "proud of his achievements", and "having different ambitions".

Xun Lin's father was troubled, and he called his son Xun Geng (Zhongxing Geng) to his side and said: "Lu State was once a century-old scourge for the Chinese princes, and even an overlord like Duke Qi Huan was powerless to be an enemy of it. Now that the great feat of destroying the Lu Kingdom has been completed by me, not only the people of the country and the same liao, but even the princes and the people of the world will look at me sideways.

"I used to be a man who committed a capital crime, and now that I have been lucky enough to build a supreme deed, what more can I ask for? Rumors have risen, if I still rely on the favor of the monarch to covet wealth, isn't it the same as Ruo Ao's? The Lu clan is gone, and the remnants of Chidi will soon perish, and I can't take the rest of the credit for myself. The way to retreat from heaven is to give it to future generations! ”

The next day, Xun Lin's father took Xun Geng to see Jin Jinggong and resigned from Jin Jinggong's position and official position. Regarding the resignation of the patriarch of the three worlds and five dynasties in front of him, Jin Jinggong was very sorry, he kept it three times in a row, and Xun Lin's father also resigned three times.

Jin Jinggong saw that he had made up his mind, so with tears in his eyes, he asked him for a successor. Xun Lin's father said: "The morality and talent of the Shihui far surpass the minister, and he will do better than the minister." ”

After Xun Lin's father said goodbye to his old age, the soldier would be the general of the Chinese army, and Xun Shou would be the commander of the Chinese army; Xun Ke is the general of the army, and Xun Geng is the commander of the army; Luan Shu is a general, and Zhao Wu is still wrenching his toes and spitting bubbles in the cradle, so he naturally cannot hold an official position. The selection of the next military assistant has become a difficult problem in front of the Jin State Office.

According to his qualifications, Zhao Tong is of course the best candidate, but the troubles that happened when he fought against Chidi were exposed. It is believed that he and Zhao Kuo were not only cowardly in battle, but also suspected of being ungrateful and ungrateful to Han Ju, which indirectly led to Zhao Shuo's death.

Jin Jinggong already has a candidate in his heart. He didn't want Zhao Tong to make too much trouble, so he broke him up, sent him to Chengzhou to sacrifice prisoners, and then took advantage of his departure to appoint Yin Li (after Yin Buyang) as the subordinate military assistant.
