Wei Xiangong decided to strike while the iron was hot and recapture Qiyi in one fell swoop. He gathered a thousand sergeants and handed over the command to the colony (as mentioned earlier, Cui Zhu killed the Duke of Qi Zhuang and defected to Ningxi), and ordered him to bring back the heads of the Sun father and son.

Ning Xi said: "The prince may not know that Qiyi has become the second capital of the country, and two thousand people can't take it. ”

Wei Xiangong said: "Even if it can't succeed, you can find out its defense situation." ”

Qiyi was located about eighty miles northeast of Diqiu, but he did not dare to continue when he reached fifteen miles from Qiyi; It turned out that Sun Lin's father had already laid a net outside the city, preparing to annihilate the invading enemy. He had no choice but to plunder the nearby Mao City (Mao City was Qi's East Gate) and then turned around and returned to China.

Sun Lin's father lost power, status, a son, and a lot of property overnight. In a rage, he ran to the state of Jin and complained to the Duke of Jin Ping about the serious atrocities committed by the restorationists against the monarchs and ministers of the country.

However, the Jin people adopted an attitude of calming things down. The Jin people's approach was not so much that they were unwilling to "interfere in the internal affairs of the Wei Dynasty", but rather because the Jin Ping Gong was not interested in the princes, and he preferred to see a split within the princes (so that the princes would not have the leisure to challenge the authority of the Jin state).

After a closed-door discussion, the Jin people decided to send 500 soldiers to Qiyi. Sun Lin's father thought to himself, Wei Hou would not dare to attack the Jin people in a frenzy, right? Based on this idea, he placed this "archway" army in Mao's city to deter the defenders.

But Wei Xiangong didn't think so, and now there was no power that could intimidate him; There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to vent all the resentment that had been trapped in his heart during his twelve years of exile, regardless of the outcome or the future.

This time, Wei Xiangong gathered 2,000 people and handed them over to the colony, and the order was to annihilate all the Jin people stationed in Mao's city. When Ning Xi objected, he roared, "It's a big deal for the widow to go back to the Qi country to live for twelve years!" ”

The colony happily accepted the order: "Thank you to the prince for giving me the opportunity to take revenge on the Jin people!" ”

He ambushed 1,500 people in the jungle about ten miles away from Mao's and brought 500 people to the city to provoke. The leader of the Jin army was furious, and he shouted: "We are from the Jin Kingdom, do you dare to offend the army of the alliance leader?" ”

The colony responded: "Could it be that if you go around the Emperor Hill, the widow will have to move out of the Emperor Hill?" I only know that this is the defense of the country, Sun Lin's father is a traitor to the office, and you are the invaders when you appear here. Let's have a good fight, and let the winner decide who is the master here! ”

The leader of the Jin army said happily: "Then the tiger and wolf division of the Jin Kingdom should teach you Central Plains people a lesson!" With that, he gave the order to attack.

The Patriots lined up in defensive formation, and the Jin army fiercely charged into the opponent's array. The patriots soon "couldn't hold on", and the soldiers behind first turned around and fled, and the colonists couldn't stop them, and then the whole team collapsed. The Jin people were overjoyed, and immediately shouted and chased after them, but they didn't expect to step into the ambush circle of the guards.

At the sound of the order, the ambush soldiers rushed out from hiding, and those who fled also turned around and attacked the enemy. Although the people of the Jin Kingdom were in danger, they showed a very high level of combat and psychological quality. The soldiers formed a dense formation, facing the enemy, holding shields, and slowly retreated towards Mao.

Seeing that the frontal attack was ineffective, the guards turned to attack the Jin people's bare calves and feet. After a few rounds, the Jin people fell to the ground in agony, and the soldiers inside were exposed to the enemy without protection, and as a result, they were brutally killed.

Just when the people of the Jin Kingdom were in despair, someone suddenly shouted: "Sun Ruzi is here!" ”

People looked to the west, and saw a large number of chariots and infantry in the distance, and the army was rolling towards the place, and the leading chariot had the banner of Sun Kuai on it.

The Jin people cheered loudly, but the colony was extremely frustrated, and he had to give the order to retreat before reinforcements arrived to avoid being completely annihilated by the enemy.

When Sun Kui arrived at the battleground, more than half of the Jin army had already been killed and wounded, and people were rescuing the wounded and collecting the corpses. The Jin commander dragged a wounded leg and asked him to pursue him.

After leading several chariots, he saw Sun Kuai chasing after him from a distance, and he and his companions pulled out their bowstrings and shot a few rounds of arrows at the pursuers. The pursuers suffered some losses, and Sun Kuai was afraid of the colony (he had tried with the colony, and the colony broke two of his ribs with a single punch), and he did not dare to continue the pursuit, so he had to watch the guards retreat.

Sun Kuai returned to Mao's City and saw that Sun Lin's father had also arrived. The bodies of the war dead were transported outside the city gates, and there were as many as 300 bodies in front of the gates. Sun Kuai's chest was heaking and his heart was frightened. Father Sun Lin frowned and walked over and asked, "Where are the human heads?" And where is your loot? ”

Sun Kuai blushed, lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

Sun Lin's father was furious, pointed his finger at the victim and shouted: "You are not even as good as these powerful ghosts!" Don't you dare to fight the enemy, and you still want to count on foreigners to protect our homeland? ”

Sun Kuai couldn't stand his father's stimulation, and he said, "I will not be able to raise my head, and I will never come back to see my father." After saying that, he led the army and chased after him again.

Thinking that security had been obtained, the colony set up camp that night without any defenses. Sun Kuai launched a night attack on the guards, and the guards were defeated, and Sun Kuai's chariot killed the colony on the right, and the Qiyi army won a complete victory.

Sun Lin's father collected the corpses of the Jin people, transported the coffin to the Jin Kingdom, and hated Wei Xiangong in front of the Duke of Jin Ping. Jin Pinggong could not hold his breath anymore, and he soon convened a general meeting of princes, the topic of which was how to punish the defense of the country.

In June, Lu Xianggong, Zhao Wu, Liangxiao and Dr. Cao Guo met in Lanyuan. Lu Xianggong looked at the few people present, and felt very unhappy in his heart, firstly, because the Jin people only sent Zhao Wu to participate in the meeting, which was equivalent to treating him as a courtier; The second is because Xiang Xu is late and doesn't take others in his eyes at all.

Halfway through the meeting, Wei Xiangong came in the dust; He was accompanied by ministers such as Ning Xi, Beigong Yi, and Zixian. Wei Xiangong gave Zhao Wu a large amount of property, hoping to find a breakthrough from him and save Wei Guo from being burned by war.

Zhao Wu was originally on Ning Xi's side, but when he learned that Wei Xiangong dared to kill Jin **, he changed his previous thoughts.

Zhao Wu was not to be bought, he refused all bribes and said that although the heart of the Marquis of Jin was not in the princes, as long as he reigned for one day, he would not allow the breach of the covenant to occur.

Zhao Wu then detained Ning Xi and Beigong Yi and prepared to bring them back to the Jin Kingdom. Wei Xiangong suddenly lost his mind, and Zixian said, "We can take two steps." First, the prince must meet the marquis of Jin and give him a bribe; The Marquis of Jin was extravagant and depraved, and his heart was not hegemonic but only greedy for enjoyment. The second is that the ministers went to lobby Qi and Zheng monarchs, and asked the two acting monarchs to mediate. In this way, the country can be saved from calamity. ”

However, after Wei Xiangong entered Xinjiang, he did not see Jin Pinggong, but was immediately detained and placed under house arrest in the Shiqiao family. Wei Xiangong scolded Zi Xian for harming him, but one of his relatives said: "The minister thinks that everything is normal. Three hundred soldiers were killed at one time, which was a rare tragedy in the history of the Jin Kingdom; Jin people have hatred in their hearts, and they must give the prince some face, otherwise there will be no place for their faces. If the Marquis of Jin received the Marquis immediately, it would be abnormal. ”

In July, Qi Jinggong took Guojingzi and Zheng Jiangong came to Xinjiang with Zizhan one after another. Jin Ping held a banquet to entertain the dignitaries of the two countries, and Qi Jinggong and Zheng Jiangong took the opportunity to intercede for Wei Xiangong; Jin Pinggong's anger did not subside, he said: "The two monarchs interceded for Wei Yin, and the widow had to accept it. But Wei Wei's crime was serious, and the widow would not release him until he gave a satisfactory explanation to the three hundred warriors, the countrymen, and the doctors. ”

The two figured out that it was only a matter of time before the Jin people released Wei Xiangong, so they stopped being verbose.

However, although Wei Ren made huge compensation to the families of the three hundred warriors who died, and bribed the powerful ministers of the Jin State, Jin Pinggong refused to let Wei Xiangong return to China.

Soon, the patriots learned through the mouth of Le Wang Kui that the whole Jin Kingdom was indeed satisfied, but the Jin Pinggong was not satisfied; Because Jin Pinggong heard that Wei Xiangong had two fairy-like sons-in-law under his knees. What Le Wang Carp said later was not human words. Wei Guoren was shocked, but he had no choice but to contribute the two princesses, and Jin Pinggong felt "satisfied" and released Wei Xiangong on the spot.

The whole world predicted that Jin Pinggong was going to lose the princes, because what he did was already better than that of King Zhou You - King Zhou You still avoided marriage with the same surname, and Jin Pinggong didn't even want the only fig leaf.
