The Huaxia Alliance finally solved the big trouble of Qi Zhuang Gong, the new monarch Qi Jinggong was still an unmarried young man, and he knew nothing about governing the country (this situation lasted until his death), and the power of the country was in the hands of Cui and Qing. Cui is a realist and a careerist; But his ambition is to control the state of Qi, not to dominate China. As for Qingfeng, as long as he gives him a few runaway girls and good wine and food, he can send him happy.

So the princes could finally stop causing trouble for the rest of the country.

As mentioned earlier, Zheng Jiangong had gone to the Jin State last year to ask for a crusade against the Chen State, and Shi Kuo promised that he would put the matter on the agenda after subduing the Qi State.

But after the state of Qi succumbed, Shi Kuo couldn't afford to fall ill; And according to the doctors, there is a good chance that he will never get up again. Zizhan wanted to wait for the new Chinese army to take office and then join forces to attack Chen, but Zichan said: "Who can predict what will happen tomorrow? We can't pin our hopes on an unknowable future, and since the Jin people have agreed to fight Chen, we might as well go out ourselves! ”

In recent years, Chen Guo not only often harassed Zheng Guo, but also did many things that made Zheng people feel particularly annoyed during the joint attack on Zheng with the Chu army last year. It turned out that when the Chen people withdrew their troops, they filled in all the wells along the way, cut down all the trees, and demolished all the houses. Wherever the army passed, it was as if it had been burned by a consuming fire.

In June, Zizhan and Zizhan Blitz 700 flew Chen Guo in a chariot. After Zheng Jun set out from Xinzheng, it took only two days to reach the outskirts of Huaiyang. Zheng Jun broke into Huaiyang, and the Chen people couldn't figure out how Zheng Jun got in, so the whole country was in chaos, and the streets and alleys were full of panicked Chinese people fleeing and hiding. The same was true in the palace, where slaves and courtiers were the first to flee; The captain of the guards climbed up and looked up, and saw that the chariots of the Zheng army were rampant, coming from the west and north, followed by the black pressed infantry; He almost didn't fall off the watchtower. The captain hurried to the main bed to protect the monarch and escaped, but found that Chen Aigong had already disappeared without a trace.

It turned out that the prince had already taken the first step to pick up Chen Aigong. The disheveled Chen Aigong staggered out of the palace gate with the support of the prince. The old, bloated old monarch was already panting and sweating as soon as he ran out into the street. The two were unorthodoxically mixed in the flow of fleeing people, and were squeezed around by the people around them, and finally escaped from the south gate of Huaiyang.

After leaving the city, Chen Aigong suddenly saw the doctor Sima Huanzi driving by, and he shouted: "Quickly pull the widow into the car!" ”

Sima glanced at the two of them and said, "The minister has official business, and he has to patrol the city!" Before the words fell, he had already driven far away.

Chen Aigong was frightened, angry and tired, sat down against a big tree, dressed roughly, and refused to continue walking. At this moment, the doctor Jia Huo drove his mother and wife out of the city gate, and when he saw Chen Aigong, he stopped, helped his mother and wife out of the car, and handed the reins to the prince. Chen Aigong couldn't bear it in his heart, and said, "Please ask the master's mother to get in the car." ”

Jia Wei was afraid that Chen Aigong would abandon his mother at a critical moment, so he rolled his eyes and said: "It is ominous for the prince and the woman to ride together. ”

The prince drove Chen Aigong away; Jia Shu protected his mother and wife and hid in the cemetery, so he escaped.

Zheng Jun besieged the palace. The palace was a mess, empty except for the imprisoned slaves. Zizhan forbade anyone to step into the palace gate, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Chen Guojunchen almost ran away, but Sima Huanzi drove the car and swaggered to Zizhan. Sima Huanzi said: "Chen people are insensitive, which angers the big country. Today, the ** team has surrounded the ancestral temple of Gonggong, and the Chen people know that they are about to perish. However, the ancestral temple is dedicated to the ancestors of Emperor Yao and Hu Gong, and 'destroying the country will not end the worship of people', so please allow the widow to die with the gods. ”

Zizhan replied to him: "Where does the widow dare to offend the ancestor of Chen Guosheji? But the widow didn't know what he had done wrong, and he made Chen Hou so hostile to our country. Therefore, the widow sent us to inquire with the prince in order to correct the mistake. ”

Sima Huanzi said: "If the great powers can protect Chen Guosheji and protect the safety of the widow, I think the widow will be very willing to talk to the master." ”

Zichan agreed, and the two were bloodied, so Sima Huanzi drove out of the city, chased down the route of Chen Hou's escape, and finally found Chen Aigong on the border of Chen and Chu.

Chen Aigong returned to Huaiyang in despair, he first entered the shrine, took down the worship of the shrine and put it on the car (to show that the shrine was overturned), and then went to see Zizhan.

The child exhibition and the child have entered the main hall of Miyagi. Zichan ordered the officials of Chen Guo to hand over the map, household registration and military seals, and ordered doctors, patriarchs, and important figures of major families to come to report, and ordered men and women to stand on the left and right (just like the slaves displayed in the market); Zichan unfolded a list, checked the names of those present, and went out.

When Chen Aigong entered the palace gate, Zizhan had already removed his military uniform and changed into a formal dress, which meant that the war was over. Zizhan presented a gift to Chen Aigong (just like the Han Jue did to Qi Qinggong in the Battle of Qiqing), bowed to him again, and led him into the main hall to please ascend to the throne of the monarch. Then Zheng Guo Situ, Sima, and Sikong walked into the main hall in turn, and returned the household registration, official seals, and maps to Chen Aigong. Chen Guo's land was finally saved.

After the above procedures were completed, Chen Ren held a purification ceremony and returned the owner to the shrine. The two countries signed a peace agreement, and Zizhan ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned home.

In the autumn and July, the Chinese princes met again in Chongqiu due to the return of Qi to the alliance, and Qi Jinggong attended the princes' meeting for the first time as a new monarch. Shi Kuo was unable to attend due to serious illness, and he was replaced by Zhao Wu of the Chinese army.

Soon after the end of the alliance, Shi Kuo died, and his son Shi Ying filled the throne, and Zhao Wu was promoted to the rank of general of the Chinese army; A few days later, Chu Ling Yin Xue Zi Feng also died, and Mo Ao Qu Jian was promoted to Ling Yin.

Zhao Wu's first order after taking office was to reduce the amount of money that the nations offered to the Jin State each year should be halved. This move won unanimous praise from the Chinese princes; But at the same time, he increased the number of times the princes met the Marquis of Jin.

In the winter of October, his uncle Sun Bao visited the Jin Kingdom to congratulate Zhao Wu on his promotion. Zhao Wu said: "With the blessing of the Marquis of Tolie, the Jin Kingdom has today. I have nothing to reciprocate but promise my Master that from now on, there will be no more fighting than before. Cui and Qingxin of Qi will inevitably seek favor with the princes in order to maintain their position. I also know the new Ling Yin of Chu State better, he knows courtesy, benevolence, integrity and integrity. If we wish to pacify the princes, we must be courteous and use diplomatic rhetoric in our dealings with the state of Chu. In this way, there will be less fighting and the people will live in peace and contentment. ”
