Jin Ligong then handed over the burden to Lü Xiang, and Lü Xiang's friends asked to go with him, and they said, "Since we have promised to protect you, we will protect you to the end; If you don't come back, how can we keep our promises? Lu Xiang was greatly moved, so he took his friends to the Qin State.

Lü Xiang met Qin Huan Gong and published a famous essay "The Book of Absolute Qin" in court.

Lu Xiang said: "In the past, I made a good alliance with Qin Mugong and worked together; Oaths are used to bind behavior, and marriage is used to strengthen relationships. After that, the heavens sent disaster to the Jin Kingdom, the Duke of Wen went into exile in the Qi State, and the Duke of Hui went into exile in the Liang State. After the death of Gong Xian, Mu Gong remembered the old friendship and asked me to return to China to preside over the society. But Hye-gong couldn't make a big deal, so the 'Korean War' broke out between the two countries. The Qin people later sent Duke Wen back to the Jin State, and the above were all favors from the Duke of Mu to the Jin State.

"Duke Wen wore armor and held troops, trekked mountains and rivers, and conquered the princes in the east; He also led Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou to meet Mu Gong after the fourth generation to repay Mu Gong's old virtues. The Zheng people had old grudges with the Jin, and the Duke of Wen led the princes and the Qin division to surround Zheng. Doctor Qin did not ask for the order of Duke Wen and formed an alliance with Zheng without authorization. The princes hated the Qin people for being unrighteous, please pursue the Qin division; Duke Wen was frightened and tried his best to appease the princes, so that Qin Shi was able to retreat with his whole body; So our country has a great favor to Qin.

Unfortunately, Duke Wen died soon after. Mu Gong is not good, he despises my ancestors, he insults my Xianggong, invades my land, cuts off my friends, attacks my castle, destroys my Fei and slip, separates my brothers, disturbs my alliance, and subverts my country. My Xianggong didn't dare to forget Mu Gong's old xun, and he was afraid of the collapse of the society, so he launched the battle of Kun. Xianggong was willing to ask Mu Gong for guilt, but Mu Gong did not listen, and then plotted with Chu to Jin Kingdom; Heaven has eyes, King Chu Cheng died, and Mu Gong failed to achieve his will.

"After the death of Duke Mu and Duke Xiang, Duke Kang and Duke Ling ascended the throne. Kang Gong was originally from the Jin Kingdom, but he still wanted to weaken my office, overthrow my society, connive at my traitors (probably referring to Shihui, Xian Xian and others), and shake my frontier, so the Battle of Linghu happened. Kang Gong still did not repent, entered my river meander, cut down my Shuchuan, captured my royal officials, and imprisoned my horses, so the battle of the river meander; The fact that the Qin people could not travel east was entirely due to the fault of Kang Gong.

"When Jun Bo ascends the throne, I will lead the king to the west and say, 'Now you can sympathize with our country, right?' However, the emperor still could not benefit the Jin Kingdom, and took advantage of the difficulty of Chidi in our country to enter my He County, burned the two cities of Ji and Gao, and harassed my farmland, so there was a battle of Fushi.

"After that, the uncle also repented of the expansion of the calamity, and hoped to relive the good of the Duke of Xian and the Duke of Mu, so he sent Boche (the eldest son of the Duke of Qin Huan) to come and sent a message to the Duke of Jing, saying: 'I will be with you to abandon the evil, restore the old virtues, and remember the merits of the ancestors.'" The oath was not fulfilled, and Jing Gong died.

"After the widow ascended the throne, in order to continue his last wish, this was the Linghu Alliance. And the king is not good, and breaks his oath. Bai Di and Jun are in Yongzhou together, and they are enemies of the Qin State and in-laws of the Jin State. He gave the commandment, saying, 'I am with you to Vadi.' 'The widow was afraid of the king's authority, and did not dare to take care of the marriage relationship, but sent orders to the military officials. But the king had two hearts and said to Bai Di, 'The Jin people will crusade against you. The Di people hated the Qin people for being unrighteous, so they came to sue.

"The Jun of Chu was disgusted with the virtues of the Emperor and the Uncle, and he also came to tell him: 'The Qin people have betrayed the alliance of Linghu and asked for an alliance with me, and announced to the God of Haotian, the three princes of Qin, and the three kings of Chu: "Although I have an alliance with Jin, I am mercenary. "'Bugu was disgusted that he had no credit, so he came to tell him to punish the wrongdoers.'

When the princes heard this, they were all distressed and gathered around the widow. Therefore, the widow led his army to obey Qin's orders, but still hoped for peace. If the prince can benefit the princes and have mercy on the widow, it will be the hope of the widow, and the widow will appease the princes to retreat, how dare they provoke war? If the prince is unable to exert favors, the widow will not be able to convince the princes. The widow's words have been exhausted, where to go, only the king wants! ”

There are too many contents in the "Book of Absolute Qin" that reverses black and white, confuses right and wrong, and stirs up nonsense, and there is no shortage of characters with outstanding eloquence in the Qin court. Lu Xiang was emotional, his expression was excited, his spit was flying, he finished his speech dancingly, and excitedly waited for the Qin people to refute it, but at this time, no one spoke; Because the Qin people knew very well in their hearts that what the Jin people needed was a reason to start a war, not to compete with the Qin people on the lips.

Duke Qin Huan cleared his throat and said, "The Marquis of Jin sent you here to talk nonsense to provoke the widows and doctors. But do you think we care what you say? Does the Marquis of Jin think that he can force the widow to submit with 100,000 iron armor? The Qin people are never afraid of war, and they will never sign an alliance under the city, so please reply to the Marquis of Jin, everything is as you wish! ”

The Qin people blocked the road to peace, and the allied forces of the Chinese princes immediately marched westward. Luan Shu and Zhongxing Geng led the Chinese army, Shi Xie and Xin Qian led the army, Han Ju and Zhi Fu led the army, Zhao Zhan and Xin Zhi led the new army, Yi Yi was the prince of Jin Li Yurong, and Luan Lian was the right of the car; The monarchs of various countries personally led their own ** team to the west.

The Jin army crossed the Yellow River from the west of Longmen Mountain, marched south-west, and kept the direction of travel unchanged after crossing the Luoshui. The army of the princes passed through the Kunshan Pass and Taolinsai, and crossed the Weishui River north to the west of Huaxian.

Lu Chenggong asked Meng Xianzi what the outcome of the war would be, and Meng Xianzi said: "The Jin people are in harmony, the princes are united, and this battle will be a complete victory!" ”

The Qin people fortified the wilderness, destroyed mountains and dug ditches, and created obstacles for the coalition forces at every turn, and the Qin allies, the Xirong cavalry, harassed the coalition forces at any time and place.

On 4 May, the allied forces met at Majiao (north of present-day Jingyang County) and then engaged in a decisive battle with the main Qin army stationed there. The only fighting force invested by the coalition was the Jin army, and the princes' armies occupied various important places to intercept and pursue deserters.

This was a battle without suspense, and the number of the Qin army was insufficient compared to the Jin army. The battle lasted from early morning until the sun set, and the Qin generals Chengcha and Bugen's daughter-in-law were captured, and the Qin army was defeated and had to desperately break through.

Cao Jun was stationed at the breakthrough site chosen by the Qin army, and Cao Chenggong was so excited that he waved his sword and shouted: "Don't let a Qin man escape!" As soon as the words fell, he was hit by several arrows and died heroically.

The Qin army ran over the Cao army's defense line with a single charge. After the Qin army, the Cao army's camp was in disarray, as if it had been swept away by a hurricane, and there was almost nothing left, and the coalition forces couldn't help but smack their tongues when they saw this tragic situation. At this time, it was getting late, and the Jin people did not dare to continue the pursuit, Luan Shu ordered the troops to be collected, and the Qin army fled across the Jingshui.

The coalition army rested in the Ma Tunnel for two days, and the Cao people collected Cao Chenggong again. On the third day, the allied forces crossed Jingshui and arrived at Hou Licheng in Jingxi. Hou Licheng to Yongdu hundreds of miles of terrain is complex, the road is rugged, there is no city on the way and sparsely populated. The allied army was unfamiliar with the terrain, unaccustomed to the water and soil, and was afraid of being ambushed, so they built an altar in the same place and held a sacrificial ceremony, after which the princes turned around and returned to their division.
