Faced with this letter of war, the defenders began to discuss countermeasures. Shi Ji said: "Although Wei and Jin have an alliance, the alliance is not used against the Qi State. The blood relationship established by the two offices for hundreds of years will never be severed by a letter of alliance. Therefore, our army cannot respond to the battle, and the Qi division will not take the initiative to attack. Now that the goal of saving Lu has been achieved, why bother to make another incident? ”

Sun Liang's father said, "No." The prince only ordered that he was not allowed to take the initiative to challenge, and did not say that he was not allowed to fight. When we go out to fight against people, and we encounter the enemy's challenge but retreat without a fight, how will we return to the prince? If you can't fight, you shouldn't have gone out in the first place. Now that we have met, it is better to fight. ”

Shi Ji continued: "Even if the guards are defeated, you will not lose a beard, but I am afraid that the army will be completely annihilated. You have abandoned your army, how will you return to the prince? ”

He finished his speech and glanced at the officers present. Everywhere they looked, people bowed their heads and were speechless.

Shi Ji continued: "You are the Secretary of the Patriotic Empire, and if you are lost, the country will suffer great humiliation. In this way, you lead the main force to retreat first, and I will lead the rest of the army to resist the Qi division. ”

Early the next morning, when the Qi people lined up, they found that the number of guards seemed to be only half of yesterday's. The scout reported that Sun Liangfu had fled with the Chinese army, and that only one army led by Shi Ji was lined up on the opposite side.

Qi Qinggong said: "What kind of tactic is this? A trick to lure the enemy? Golden cicada shelling? The grandson provoked an incident and wanted to run away, how could the widow do what the grandson wanted? Qi Qinggong immediately ordered Gao Gu to attack Shiji; He led the Chinese army to pursue Sun Liang's father.

Gao Gu quickly defeated Shi Ji, who chose a different path from Sun Liang's father to retreat, and Gao Gu followed far behind. Qi Qing's stallion did not stop, and he caught up with Sun Liang's father in the early morning of the next day, and Qi Shi won three battles and three victories in one day.

Sun Liang's father lost the main chariot in the first battle, the secondary chariot in the second battle, and had no car to ride in the third battle, so he had to run wildly among the infantry. For the first time, the soldiers saw a cripple who could run so fast.

Sun Liangfu saw that the newly built city was in front of him, while the enemy's chariots quickly overtook the left and right sides, ready to intercept the guards. He sighed in his heart: "This hatred can only be avenged by future generations!" ”

Just when the Qi division was about to complete the siege, Yu Xi, the new construction doctor, rushed out of the city with local forces, broke through the encirclement of the Qi division from the outside, and rescued Sun Liang's father and the sergeants into the city.

The Qi division besieged Xinzhu that night and prepared to attack the city the next day. However, Wei spread rumors that Wei Mugong had gathered two hundred chariots and corresponding infantry and was rushing towards Xinzhu. Qi Qinggong did not dare to stay for a long time, and led the army to retreat to Juju.

Qi Qinggong stayed in Juju for two days, and Gao Gu's army also arrived. Qi Qinggong saw that the guards who had fled into Xinzhu had retreated, and the so-called "reinforcements" were nowhere to be found, knowing that he had been deceived, he ordered the army to continue to march towards Chuqiu.

Sun Liangfu and Shi Ji rendezvous, and the two arrived on the outskirts of Chuqiu with the defeated army. Sun Liangfu said to the left and right: "I will go to the Jin Kingdom to beg for Qi." If I don't avenge this revenge, I swear not to enter the city. He handed over the army to Shi Ji, and then drove straight to Jiangcheng.

Sun Liang's father met Uncle Zang Xuan, who had the same mission as him, and the two came to the Jin Kingdom together. Now I can't help but think that Jin Jinggong is no longer a teacher.

Jin Jinggong promised to send Xun Ke to lead 700 chariots to fight, but Xun Ke felt that the troops were insufficient, he said: "700 times is the number of the first monarch to launch the battle of Chengpu, and at that time, the war was won by relying on the wisdom of the first monarch and the purge of the first doctor. My ability is not as good as that of the first doctor, and I am afraid that 700 times is not enough, so please ask 800 times. ”

Jin Jinggong was a little worried: "Seven hundred times can't be commanded, can you command eight hundred times?" But after thinking about it: "Fortunately, there are Shixie and Luan Shu." He granted Nick's request.

Eight hundred times is equivalent to half of the total strength of the Jin State, and the Jin people recruited half an army from each of the three armies to form the Eastern Expeditionary Army; Among them, Xun Ke led the army, Shi Xiezuo led the army, Luan Shu led the army, and Han Ju was the great Sima.

In May, the Jin division went out of the Taihang Mountains through the east of Fukou, and then crossed the Yellow River eastward. Ji Wenzi led the Lu army to meet the Jin division on the east bank, and the two armies continued to advance eastward together, arriving at Weiguo a few days later.

He Ke has a nephew of the same clan named Xun Ju, who relies on Xun Ke's power to be domineering on weekdays, and he does not know how to restrain himself in the army, and continues to act recklessly.

On this day, Yin Ju brought a woman back to the camp from outside, and when he entered the camp gate, he happened to be bumped into by the patrol (gendarmerie) of the Sima Administration. The patrol immediately rushed to arrest him, and he was so drunk that he not only drew his sword in defiance, but also called out to his companions to help him attack the gendarmes.

But everyone else was aware of the seriousness of the situation, and none of them dared to come forward to help. The gendarmes subdued him and escorted him to Han Ju.

Xun Ju's brother immediately reported the news to Xun Ke, who couldn't help but scold him for being "stupid" and said to the visitor: "Take me quickly, maybe you can save his life!" ”

Han Ju later held a public trial of the offender in the military camp, and Yin Ju admitted what he had done without care, but resolutely pleaded not guilty, and raised his neck and shouted, claiming to make Han Ju look good.

Several doctors who rushed to save him immediately stopped him and begged Han Ju to let him go. But Han Ju said: "When I was a child, I was fostered in the home of Chengzi (Zhao Dun), and Chengzi taught me: 'Loyalty does not disobey orders, and courage does not take refuge. 'The prince ordered me to be in charge of the Jin ** law, and I can't be disloyal; No matter how powerful he is, I can't shirk my responsibility. After saying that, he ordered the execution of Hao Ju.

When Xun Ke arrived, Xun Ju had already landed on the ground. The sergeants gathered at the execution site, staring at him silently with different expressions. He dragged the corpse onto the chariot, dragged it for display in the camp, and shouted: "Death to those who dare to violate military discipline!" This is what happens to sinners! He walked around the camp with the corpse before throwing it away and then returning to his residence.

When he returned to the tent, his brothers and clansmen broke in and cried, "The master can't save Ju, he deserves to die." But why are you still spreading the word about his crimes? ”

Xun Ke said: "Xun Ju is dead, and he can't be saved. I might as well share some of your grievances for Da Sima. In this way, he and the kid's death can be regarded as worthwhile. ”
