The so-called "life" in the mouth of Duke Qi Ling refers to an order that King Ling of Zhou sent Liu Dinggong to announce to him in the fourteenth year of Duke Xiang of Lu: "At that time, my uncle Taigong, who assisted my first king, was the minister of the royal family; Bless all the people, for generations as the royal prince, as an example for the princes of the East. The royal family is not bad, and it is completely dependent on the uncle (that is also in the past tense). Today I order you ring (Qi Ling's official name is Jiang Huan)! Do your best to uphold the common law of your ancestors, continue the duties of your ancestors, and do not disgrace your ancestors. Respectfully! Don't scrap my orders! ”

King Zhou Ling had just become Qi Linggong's new son-in-law at that time, and this kind of formal life was the only one that Zhou Tianzi could give back to Qi Linggong. In fact, the Son of Heaven's order is not as weighty as the words of the ministers of the great powers (Zhongxingyan and Shilu can fight in one word and make peace in one word), so the princes disdain and sneer at that kind of false name; Only Qi Linggong happily swaggered around under the guise of giving his life.

In the autumn of this year, Qi Linggong and Gao Hou led a large army to invade the Lu State again. The troops led by the Duke of Qi Ling crossed Wenshui to the south and surrounded Taoyi (northwest of present-day Ningyang); Gao Hou led his troops south along Yishui and surrounded Fangyi, an important town in the eastern part of Lu State (northeast of present-day Fei County).

The defense is Zang's mining, and Zang Sun Su hurried to arrange the defense work; As a result, Gao Hou surrounded the defense group, and Zang Sun Su found that he had actually become a turtle in the urn.

Gao Hou danced excitedly and was overjoyed, he said: "I didn't expect there to be a big man in this small city." If you can catch him, it will be a miracle! If the reinforcements of the Lu State can be eliminated, it will be a meritorious achievement! ”

Gao Hou circled around the defense several times and figured out the enemy's defenses; When he returned to the camp, he placed his army on favorable terrain and assigned the siege task. The Lu people also felt the seriousness of the situation - Zang Sun Su was in great danger, and he must not be captured by the enemy. Uncle Sun Leopard was worried that Fangyi would be captured, but he was more worried about Qi Linggong's Chinese army. Shusun Leopard divided the Lu army into two parts, and he ordered Ji Wuzi to lead his troops to contain Gao Hou, and he and Zhongsun led the main force north to meet Qi Linggong.

Ji Wuzi led the army east out of Yangguan, he was afraid of the strength of the Qi army, and he was afraid that the enemy army would adopt the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, so he stopped when he marched to Lusong City and refused to continue to advance.

Reinforcements were delayed, and the Qi army's offensive preparations were nearing completion; Zang Sunsu was so anxious that he decided to take a risk - lead the death squad to break through the enemy line at night.

There will be weaknesses in any line of defense - it is impossible for every army to do its job perfectly. The Lu people were familiar with the terrain and topography, and they carefully observed the distribution of enemy forces, and soon found a place where they could break through, so they decided to break through from there.

At that time, there were many famous warriors gathered in the defense town. Late one night, Kong Su (Confucius's father), Zang Chou, and Zang Jia led a death squad consisting of 300 warriors and 30 chariots to protect Zang Sun Su from the east gate.

The death squad quietly approached the enemy camp, and suddenly rushed into the enemy camp with fire and shouts. At the same time, the lights on the city were shining, and the people in the city took out everything that could be knocked out and shouted desperately. The gates were opened on all sides, and a large number of people poured out of the gates with torches. The camp of the Qi army also changed from pitch black to brightly lit, and the camp was crowded with people and hustle and bustle. The commanders could not figure out the intentions of the Lu people, so they had to order a defense and not act rashly.

The three hundred warriors fought and rushed all the way, and finally broke through the enemy's defense line and rushed in the direction of Lusong City. The Qi people chased them out with their teeth and claws, and Zang Jian, who was in charge of the broken rear, led his subordinates to fight tenaciously to buy precious time for Zang Sunsu's escape, and the warriors suffered many casualties, and Zang Jian was also captured due to his injuries.

After the death squad broke out of the encirclement, the people of Fangyi returned to the city with a smile and laughter, and the noise and lights in the city quickly disappeared, and Fangyi stood quietly in the night again, as if nothing had happened just now.

The death squad walked out of ten miles and stopped. Kong Su said to Zang Sun Su: "Fifty miles ahead is Lusong, Master be careful on the road, we have to rush back to defend the city, let's leave it alone." Kong Su gave Zang Sun Su two chariots as escorts, and then led the rest of the soldiers back to Fangyi along the same road.

By the time the death squads marched to the outside of the enemy lines, calm had already been restored in the enemy camp. He gathered the soldiers together and said, "Light the torches with me, and then raise the fire together and rush into the enemy camp; Be fast, don't fight! ”

The Qi people were exhausted after a day's hard work and half a night's tossing, and the officers and soldiers thought that since the team fought desperately to get out of the defense line, they would not find their own way to die and then return, so they relaxed and slept soundly one by one.

The Lu people suddenly broke into the barracks again, many people were not even woken up, and those who woke up ignorant thought that they had hallucinated, and many people did not get up, and they could not recover their combat ability in a short period of time after barely getting up, and as a result, the death squad passed through the defense line without encountering any obstacles. The people of Lu opened the city gate and cheered loudly to welcome the warriors into the city.

Zang Sunsu entered Lusong City at dawn. The people of Chengyi were full of joy, and Gao Hou lost his temper - don't talk about meritorious service now, Cui Zhu, that old guy, will ask for his responsibility for improper command. It was pointless to continue the attack on Chengyi, and Ji Sun's army threatened the Qi division from afar; Gao Hou executed the commander who had broken through the camp, and then withdrew with Zang Jian.

Zang Jian is a nephew of Zang Sun Su, and his fierce reputation is also very popular in the Qi State. Gao Hou took him back to Qi and put him under house arrest in the home of a doctor. Qi Linggong was excited and afraid that he would not be able to bear the humiliation of being captured and commit suicide, so he immediately sent Su Shawei to condole.

Su Shaweilai was wearing a mother's clothes, slightly powdered, and conveyed Qi Linggong's condolences to him in a yin and yang voice. You must know that Su Shawei's reputation is the most disgusting in both Qi and Lu; Qi Linggong sent his most favored courtiers over to spread the word, thinking that he could win Zang Jian's gratitude, but it backfired and aggravated Zang Jian's sense of humiliation.

Zang Jian's face still maintained his usual calmness, and he bowed to Shu Shawei again: "Foreign ministers thank the prince for his kindness. Although the prince gave his ministers immortality, why did he send you such a good thing to humiliate me? Could it be that the State of Qi couldn't send a man to issue the king's order? Qi Hou is treating me as a scum like you, in this case, I might as well die. ”

Su Shawei stood in the room at a loss, Zang Jian grabbed a wooden stick beside him, broke it with force, and stabbed the sharp spine into the wound in the chest, stirring in the wound a few times, blood immediately gushed out, and he died quickly.

In the winter of that year, the elderly Yan Weak died in endless grief, and his eldest son Yan Ying inherited the throne.
