Luan Huang sent an envoy to Lu before the Battle of Yanling, asking Lu Chenggong to send troops to jointly resist Chu.

When Lu Chenggong was about to go on the expedition, Mu Jiang (Duchess Lu Xuan, the mother of Chenggong) set up a private banquet for Chenggong to practice. At the end of the banquet, Mu Jiang suddenly proposed to expel Ji Wenzi and Meng Xianzi from the country with a slightly drunken spirit, accusing the two of gossiping everywhere, insulting and slandering her, a noble and flawless surviving person.

It turned out that when Lu Xuangong died (BC591), Mu Jiang was in the prime of Saitama; She looked at the young Chenggong, and always lamented in her heart that she was ill-fated and made people miserable. Just as she was about to spend the rest of her lonely life in the dark harem, the young uncle Qiaoru extended a hand of hope to her to rekindle the light of life.

The Shusun clan was restored to the status of a secretary during the period of the uncle and grandson. After the death of his uncle Dechen, his uncle Qiaoru inherited his father's throne. Uncle Sun Qiaoru is tall and strong, handsome, intelligent and courageous; In short, in him you can find all the advantages that Uncle Sun Dechen has, except for character.

The private relationship between the uncle and grandson Qiaoru and the surviving person gradually spread all over the land of Lu, and this court scandal became a topic of conversation among the people of Lu after dinner.

The doctors were furious, and they wanted to punish the adulterer, but because of their noble status and high status, they could not shake either side. Taking a step back, even if Uncle Sun Qiaoru gets the punishment (exile) he deserves, then who will be the next prey of the ** fiery Xuanfu character?

"In order to prevent more people from being victimized, it's better to sacrifice Qiao Ru alone!" The doctors consoled themselves with this unreliable reason, "What is the guilt of Madame?" If you want to blame Xuangong, you can blame it for dying too early! ”

The openness of their private affairs and the indulgence of the doctors made them no longer care about any danger and face, and the two soon began to hold hands like husband and wife, openly going out of pairs.

Later, Uncle Sun Qiaoru's brother Uncle Sun Leopard fled to Qi because he hated his brother's ugly behavior and feared that disaster would come unexpectedly.

As his power further increased, his uncle and grandson Qiaoru's ambitions also increased day by day; He laughed at Ji Wenzi's baldness but was jealous of his status; For Meng Xianzi, who has a heroic image but low status, he has the opposite reason for ridicule and jealousy.

Lu Chenggong grew up day by day, and the pressure on the two increased day by day. They saw the growing disgust and hatred in Lu Chenggong's eyes. When monarchs are full of wings and power, that is when their end comes; And the doctors are also looking forward to the day when Uncle Sun Qiaoru is unlucky.

The two then began to conspire, preparing to eliminate Ji Wenzi and Meng Xianzi as soon as possible, so that their uncle and grandson Qiaoru could take sole power. The two even began to plot, once Lu Chenggong made trouble, the two would abolish Chenggong and establish Xuanjiang's youngest son Gongzi as the king.

The conversation is back to the practice banquet.

Lu Chenggong was annoyed in his heart: "If the loyalty of the Ji family and the Meng family can be called an 'insult', then what is the behavior of the uncle and grandson?" Can an adulterer who is loyal to the mother of the nation be counted as 'loyal'? ”

But he didn't dare to say such things in front of his mother, he just said: "Now the war in Jinchu is tight, and when the widow comes back, everything is arranged by my mother." ”

Mu Jiang's willful and arrogant temper suddenly broke out, and she pointed to Gongzi Yan and another Gongzi who hurriedly walked by in small steps under the hall and said, "If you don't do what I tell you, they can both become Lu Hou!" ”

Because this sentence was too crazy, Lu Chenggong thought that it was just his mother's drunken words, and felt that it was impossible for her to depose her son for an adulterer.

But he had to be wary, and in response to his mother, he handed over the command of the palace guards to Zhongsun Mi, and waited for Zhongsun Mi to arrange the defense work before leading the army with Ji Wenzi. When the Battle of Yanling broke out, the Lu army had just arrived at the border of Bad Feed; Lu Chenggong received the news of the end of the war on the way and ordered to return to the division.

In July, the princes of Jin, Qi, Lu, Song, and Wei gathered in Shasui to plan the attack on Zheng.

At that time, he was a new army general and was in charge of the foreign affairs of the eastern princes. His uncle Qiaoru sent him a generous gift and framed Lu Chenggong, saying that he was reluctant to leave the army because he had a grudge for the Jin state and was ready to defect to the victor after the war.

He happily accepted the bribe and reported the situation to Jin Ligong instead. Jin Ligong was originally dissatisfied with the procrastination of the Lu people, and now that this inside story was exposed, he ordered Lu Chenggong not to attend the meeting.

At the end of July, Lu Chenggong and the princes led their troops to attack Zheng. When the army was about to leave, Mu Jiang once again asked Lu Chenggong to expel the Ji and Meng clans, but Lu Chenggong still arranged the defense work as he did last time before leaving.

This time it was only a symbolic act of revenge, and the Jin State only sent half of the lower army, and the princes did not send many troops. The combined forces of Jin, Qi, Song, and Wei were stationed in the western part of Zheng, but the Lu army refused to continue when it entered the southeastern border of Zheng, fearing an attack on the southern outskirts of Zheng.

At that time, Shusun Leopard was in Qi**, and Gongsun Yingqi sent someone to meet Shusun Leopard and ask him to persuade the Jin people to send troops to escort the Lu army (just like protecting a team of Niangniang) to cross the border; and said that if the Jin army did not arrive for a day, he would wait hungry for a day. Although this cowardly move will be ridiculed by the princes, it is better than dying before leaving the army.

Shusun Leopard received the envoy of the motherland with great enthusiasm, and when he learned of the situation, he immediately drove the Lu envoy to meet the Jin people. Uncle Sun Leopard asked about some things happening in China on the way, and then sighed: "Doctor Gongsun is really well-intentioned!" He's preparing for my return home! I can't let him starve. ”

Luan Shu smacked his lips when he learned of the situation, and then sent an army of 2,000 people to escort the Lu army across the border. By the time the Jin army arrived at the Lu army camp, four days had passed. Gongsun Yingqi was already so hungry that he was hunched over his waist and his eyes were glazed; He prepared a banquet for the Jin ** official, and waited for the other party to finish eating before starting to eat.

After the Lu army passed Zheng, the coalition forces regrouped. Zhigang led the coalition forces to invade the state of Chen first (because he did not participate in the Battle of Yanling, so the Duke of Jin Li gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions), and then invaded the state of Cai after plundering. In the end, the coalition forces came to the outskirts of Zhengjiao, intending to return to China after showing off their might.

The Zheng people could not hold out, and the princes relaxed their vigilance. When the armies set up camp, they only dug a shallow ditch that could not hide even a dog as a boundary, and did not set up sentry posts. The camps of the Qi, Song, and Wei armies were connected, while the Jin and Lu were stationed on the other side.

The arrogance of the coalition forces infuriated the Zheng people, and the slackness of the enemy fueled the Zheng people's battle**. You must know that Zheng Guo has never lacked excellent generals and martial spirit! However, Zheng Ren didn't want to provoke the Jin people, so he targeted the other three ** teams.

On the night of July 24, the weather was hot and windless. Knowing that he was humming weakly, the toad mingled happily, the camp snored like thunder, the campfire looked drowsy, and many soldiers slept shirtless outside the tent.

The south gate of Xinzheng quietly opened, and a "miscellaneous army" wearing various ** uniforms slipped out of the city under the leadership of Gongzixi, and they infiltrated the enemy camp from the junction of the three armies and attacked at the same time. The soldiers got up in a daze, only to find that the "friendly soldiers" who had been talking and chatting together during the day had killed them like crazy.

The soldiers didn't have time to think about it, so they grabbed their weapons and fought back; And those sneak attackers did not dare to fight, and fled back to their "own" camp. The victim chased after him.

And just as they were about to cross the camp boundary, they saw that the allies on the opposite side also rushed over to chase and kill their "comrades", and as a result, a big scuffle broke out in the three military camps.
