When the alliance was about to end, Xu Linggong came uninvited, Xu Nan was the most familiar stranger to the Chinese princes; The uninvited guest told the Jin people that he wanted to move Xu Guo to the border with the Jin State again.

Xu, a country that had been experiencing various disasters since the early Spring and Autumn period (those disasters have already been recounted), could not bear the endless blows of the Zheng people, and moved the country to Yecheng, which was adjacent to the Chu state, nineteen years ago, with the help of the Chu people.

However, although Xu Guo escaped the clutches of the Zheng people, he became the bag of the Chu people; Although the country avoided the risk of losing the country, it was oppressed and exploited by the people of Chu. Xu Linggong regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't move the countrymen around like a family, so he had to endure it for the time being.

During this period, the two countries of Jin and Chu fought endlessly against the Zheng State, and the devastated Zheng State was unable to fight again, and finally submitted to the Jin State, which was in full swing. And the state of Chu was like a defeated dragon, and had to sink into the abyss to recuperate.

Xu Linggong was going to be annoyed to death, he took refuge in the state of Chu purely because Zheng Guo joined the Southern Alliance; But now, the old enemy who did not take a firm position has fallen to the other side again!

Moreover, after Xu Guo moved the capital, the doctors of the public office looked for protectors in Chu State, conveyed improper benefits to the protectors, and married them; The doctors' collusion with the ministers of the Chu state and the formation of parties for personal gain greatly damaged the interests of the state - the ministers divided the power that should belong to the monarch, and Xu Linggong was no longer even able to mobilize the national army. Therefore, Xu Linggong wanted to take refuge in the Jin Kingdom, and he also had the intention of borrowing the knife of the Jin people to get rid of those guys who ate outside the grill.

Jin Pinggong was so excited that he danced, and he said: "As soon as the widow ascended the throne, the southern princes came to take refuge, which is really a great auspicious omen; The Jin State may become the co-ruler of the world under the rule of the oligarchy, not just the leader of the Huaxia League. ”

According to Xu Linggong's request, the Jin people carved out a large area of land in the Central Plains, and drew strong soldiers from the princes' armies to form an army and followed Xu Linggong to Xu State. However, when the coalition army marched to the city of Xu, they saw that the city gate was closed, and the city walls were covered with heavily armed soldiers; Xu Guoren watched Xu Linggong's every move nervously as if he were facing a great enemy.

Xu Linggong shouted loudly and asked the soldiers defending the city to open the city to take over, but the commander asked the coalition forces to withdraw from the border before Xu Linggong could be allowed to enter the city. Xu Linggong scolded at the city, and after a while, a doctor of Xu Guo showed his head and shouted to him: "We know the purpose of the monarch going to see the Marquis of Jin, but the people of the country do not agree to move away. The doctors did not dare to go against the will of the people, so they armed themselves to close the city gates. You are still the monarch of the Xu Kingdom, and as long as you no longer insist on moving the capital, you can still return to the palace to preside over the society. But," he said, pointing to the allied forces of the princes, "they must leave the kingdom of Xu at once!" ”

Xu Linggong thought that with the support of the Huaxia princes, the doctors would definitely obediently obey the order, but he didn't expect them to be tougher than himself. Faced with the stubbornness of the ministers, Xu Linggong was stunned for a moment, and there was really nothing he could do.

The coalition forces came to escort the migration of the Xu people, not to attack the Xu people. The coalition general frowned, and said to Xu Linggong dissatisfied: "Please reach an agreement with the doctors and ask for help again!" You can follow the foreign minister back to the Jin Kingdom, or you can enter the Xu Kingdom, everything is only what the king wants! ”

Xu Linggong began to exchange words with the left and right, and the eldest doctor Ziran said: "If you go to the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that the ministers will set up a new lord on the grounds that the king takes the initiative to abdicate, and we will lose everything by then." Whether it's in or out or think about it. Xu Linggong stammered: "Widows, widows, let's enter the city!" ”

The coalition generals then turned around and left with their troops, leaving only Xu Linggong and his few guards outside the city. The doctors in the city sent two representatives, Xu chose a flat land, built an altar, and the doctor representatives and Xu Linggong held a bloody ceremony, which read: "From now on, the queen and the monarch will no longer consider moving the capital, and the doctors should be loyal to the monarch's office." Then people flocked to Xu Linggong into the city.

After Jin Pinggong sent Xu Linggong away, he waited for the good news in the same place, but what he was waiting for was the bad news that the coalition forces had returned in vain; However, Xu Linggong's unwise actions had already opened up the ambitions of the Jin people that did not exist before, and the stubbornness of Dr. Xu Guo aroused the great anger of the Jin people.

Gongsun Yu keenly felt that "the opportunity to harm the people of Xu Guo has come again". He ran to the Jin people, poured a few barrels of strong oil on their anger, and then took the initiative to ask Ying to crusade against Xu, who was as persistently enthusiastic as Zheng Guo. The Jin people agreed, and the Bank of China ordered the formation of a coalition of Zheng, Song, Lu, and Wei, and handed over the overall command to Gongsun Yu.

In the summer and June, the coalition army reached the forest northeast of Xudu; On the 9th, they swept to several small towns on the outskirts of the capital. The coalition army advanced to the eastern outskirts of the capital, but the Xu people could not hold out and did not seek peace. When a certain Xu Linggong was inspecting the defense in the city, the doctor next to him pointed to the overwhelming coalition army, and said to Xu Linggong with a gloomy face: "Look at that, this is the group of people you asked for help to move the capital, if we believe their promises, I am afraid we will all die on the way to migrate." ”

Gongsun Yu saw that he could not achieve more results if he continued to attack, so he ordered the withdrawal of his troops.

At the time of the coalition invasion of Xu, Zhongxingyan and Luan Huang invaded Chu with the Jin army in retaliation for the Battle of Yangliang (in the twelfth year of Lu Xianggong) launched by the Chu army against the Song state.

At that time, the prince of Chu met the Jin army; The Chu army was numerous, morale-high, and menacing. Seeing this, the Bank of China was reluctant to engage the enemy in battle, so it ordered a retreat; Wang Zige chased after the Jin people and captured many miscellaneous soldiers.

The Jin army crossed a tributary of Rushui to the north, and on the north bank of the tributary was a place called Zhanhan (now north of Pingdingshan, Henan), and to the north of Zhanhan was the wide and difficult Rushui. Wang Zige decided to start a decisive battle with the Jin army in Zhanhan, but the deputy marshal Qu Dang said: "The first doctor said: 'The Jin people are deceitful. 'The Jin army has no tradition of evading the enemy, and if they do, it can only mean that they are using stratagem to lure our army into pursuit. Therefore, I think that we should take it as soon as we see it, and drive the enemy army out of Chu State. ”

Wang Zige said: "Of course, there is truth in what you say, but our army occupies a favorable position and is far outnumbered by the enemy, and the enemy has been fleeing, so there is no reason why our army should not fight the enemy. ”

Wang Zige then led the main force to wade through the tributaries of the Rushui. As a result, the Chu army was attacked by the Jin army during the operation, and the army that landed first was surrounded by heavy troops, and the sergeants who were crossing the river also suffered a lot of losses and had to flee back.

Seeing that the Chu army was in disarray, Zhongxing Yan immediately issued an order for a general attack. The offensive and defensive momentum was immediately reversed, and the Jin army defeated the Chu army on the north bank, and pursued the victory; With the chariots in front and the infantry behind, they rushed into the Chu camp on the south bank of the tributary in one fell swoop.

Wang Zige had to take a defensive position, fighting while retreating. The first day of battle ended when the stars appeared in the night sky. At this time, the Chu army had already broken up into several branches and could not be regrouped. After inspecting the camp, the Bank returned to his tent, thinking about whether he would continue to fight tomorrow.
