In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Lu Zhaogong, Han Qi had a strange dream; He dreamed that Duke Wen of Jin and Wu of the Bank of China were standing face to face, and Duke Wen of Jin slowly took the hand of Wu of the Bank of China and said, "The widow will give the land of Lu Hun Rong to the master, but the master will take it himself." ”

Lu Hun Rong originally lived in Guazhou (now Dunhuang, Gansu) and belonged to a nomadic people. Later, the Western Zhou Dynasty declined and moved eastward, and a large number of power vacuums appeared in Hexi, so Lu Hun Rong took the opportunity to migrate to the Weinan area, which was rich in water and grass, and faced the Qin State across the Weishui.

In order to expand the territory of Weinan and the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, Qin Mugong colluded with Jin Huigong and forcibly moved Lu Hun Rong east to the Yichuan area. Lu Hun Rong built a city in Dingxin's settlement, changing from a nomadic people to an agrarian people, but their language, service, etiquette, currency, etc., were still very different from those of the Chinese.

Later, the king of Chu Zhuang led his army north to attack Lu Hun Rong, and Lu Hun Rong was forced to sign an alliance in the city, and since then he has become a vassal of Chu State. Lu Hun Rong's national strength was weak, and he was separated from the Jin State by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so the Jin State had not taken the other party seriously for a long time.

Han Qi reported the situation in the dream to Jin Qinggong the next day, and Jin Qinggong said: "Everything is what the master wants, and the master needs to do what the widow wants, the widow will do." ”

A few days later, Jin Qinggong said at the court meeting: "The widow dreamed last night that the ancestor Zhaogong was trapped between Luoshui and Santu Mountain, so he will send people to Yichuan to worship the gods of the two places. However, this trip needed to pass through the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the widow specially ordered Tu Kuai to send the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to borrow from the Son of Heaven. ”

Tu Kuai came to the royal city and issued a sternly worded excuse request, with that expression and tone as if he was condemning the sins of the Zhou people.

King Zhou Jing didn't know why the other party was so angry, and he couldn't afford to provoke the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom, so he said: "Of course, Bugu agrees with the big country to borrow the Eastern Zhou. ”

After retreating from the dynasty, Chang Hong said to Liu Dinggong: "The master sees the fierce appearance of the Jin envoy, the Jin people must not go to sacrifice, they should go to crusade against Lu Hunrong, right?" Lu Hun Rong is close to the Jin State, but he is too close to the Chu State, and the Jin people are about to pull out this nail. We should be prepared for the war. ”

On September 24, Wu led his army to cross the river from Jianjin under the banner of sacrifice and set up camp thirty miles away from Luhun Kingdom. Bank of China Wu ordered people to erect an altar by Luoshui, and then began to kill and sacrifice. Lu Hun Rong was completely confused by the Jin people's actions and did not take any precautions; Even when the Jin people held the sacrificial ceremony, many Luhun people were still watching the excitement not far away.

On the night of September 27, the Jin army suddenly launched an attack on Lu Hunguo, and it did not take much effort to attack the capital. The Jin army looted the city, brought prisoners and belongings back to the Jin state, and presented prisoners of war to the Wengong Temple.

Liu Dinggong and Chang Hong were prepared in advance, and their clans captured many Lu Hun refugees and turned them into their slaves.

In winter, Lu Dafu Shen must observe the sky at night, and see a bright comet near the Great Mars (Antares), and the wisdom tail sweeps through the night sky, reaching the star Han in the west.

Shen Su said to his friend Zishen: "The appearance of the comet is a sign that the earth will be replaced with the new; Good things will happen, good things will appear, and bad things will happen, and evil things will appear. Now that comets are around Mars, they must be a precursor to an imminent fire in a certain country. ”

"Last year I found a comet in a fire, and now that the comet has been on Mars for a year, and this year is brighter than last year, some countries will be on fire," Zishen said. Which ones will be? It is estimated that it will be Song, Zheng, Chen, and Wei, right? The Song State is located in the ruins of fire, the Zheng Kingdom is located in the ruins of Zhurong, and the Chen State is located in the ruins of Taihao, all of which are the country of fire signs. Although it is a water sign, the tail of the comet reaches the genus of Xinghan Weiguo, and the defense of the country will not be spared. The first sight of Mars and the sky is March in the summer calendar, April in the Shang calendar, and May in the Zhou calendar. If there is a fire, it will be in the month of Mars next year. ”

Dr. Zheng made the same prophecy when he said, "Zheng, Song, Wei, and Chen will be hit by a fire on the same day next year, and if I am allowed to use the jade of the public office for sacrifice, Zheng Guo may be spared." Zichan disagreed.

At the beginning of May in the 18th year of Lu Zhaogong (BC524), Mars began to appear near the horizon at dusk. Dr. Zheng said to his son: "Zheng Guo will suffer a catastrophe, the people will be shaken, and the society will almost be overturned. I'm afraid I won't see that day (because he's seriously ill and will die soon), and there's nothing I can do. Did the master consider moving the capital to save the Kuomintang? ”

"That's fine," replied, "but my authority is not strong enough to decide the matter. ”

On May 7, a strong southerly wind blew in the Central Plains, which raised high dust, broke small trees, swept away utensils, and made pedestrians unable to open their eyes; People can't even ride against the wind.

Zishen said: "This is the legendary 'melt wind', which is the harbinger of a fire. In seven days, the fire will be done! "On the ninth day, the fierce melt wind had blown the sky dark, and the sun seen at noon was like an orange separated by a thin curtain, and there was no one in the streets of the city (there was no one to be seen). On the 13th, the wind speed reached the top state; On this day, fires broke out in Song, Zheng, Chen, Wei, and Xu.

The people of Zheng immediately threw themselves into the vigorous firefighting and disaster relief operations. At this time, Li Xi had died, and the coffin was parked in the mourning hall, not far from the fire point. Zisan sent thirty men to move his coffin to safety. Zichan sent the sons and grandsons of the Jin Kingdom and the newly arrived princes and doctors out of the east gate, and ordered the foreign envoys who arrived early to stay indoors; In this way, foreigners will avoid being harmed. The son is born and the son is born, and the son leads people to inspect and protect the ancestral temple of the Gonggong; ordered Gongsun Deng to transfer the big treasure turtle in the temple; Ordered Zhu Shi to transfer the god of the ancestor to the Zhou Temple; The officials of the Treasury Prefecture performed their duties to protect the palace people and property; ordered Sima and Si Kou to lead the crowd to patrol the Huodao market to help the people and maintain law and order; Ordered the city guard to ascend the city to strengthen the garrison.

The next day, he issued an urgent mobilization order to the village commanders, so that the country could quickly assemble its army in the event of a surprise attack by the enemy; Zichan also ordered the suburban chief (the administrator in charge of the affairs of the suburbs) to pile up altars, worship Xuanming and Huilu (water gods), and pray in the suburbs; The Situ Department was instructed to register the burned population, destroyed houses and property, reduce the debts and taxes of the victims, and provide free wood and clay for the reconstruction of homes.

After the fire was extinguished, Zheng people cried for three days, closed the market for three days, and stopped all entertainment activities during the closure.

In the other four countries, Song and Wei did the same thing as Zheng Guo, while Chen people did not put out fires, and Xu people did not hang disasters. People predicted that Chen and Xu were going to perish.

In July, as Jeongkook's disaster relief efforts were nearing completion, Zichan ordered the construction of a large shrine altar and a large-scale purification ceremony, followed by a large prayer ceremony.

As mentioned earlier, when Xinzheng was hit by a fire, Zi Chan ordered soldiers to climb the western city wall in full armor. Uncle Zi said: "Master's actions are obviously aimed at the Jin people, how will the Jin people be treated if they come to condemn?" ”

Zichan said: "If a small country forgets to defend itself, it will be in danger, let alone in disaster. The fact that the country is not despised is solely due to the constant heightened vigilance. ”

As a result, a few days later, the officials of the Jin State came to look for something. The official said: "There was a fire in Zheng Guo, and Jin Jun and the doctors did not dare to live in peace, so they successively carried out divination and sacrifices for Zheng Guo; Zheng Guo's disaster is also a worry for widows. But the doctor instantly ordered troops to enter the city, who is to be held accountable? The people on the border of the Jin Kingdom were afraid and did not dare not come to ask. ”

"As you said, the disaster of our country is also a trouble for the great powers. Officials did not govern the country well, so disaster came down from heaven; We are afraid that wicked people will stir up evil thoughts, so as to inspire the wicked thoughts of the greedy. Zheng Guoru's encounter with a big disaster will also aggravate Jin Jun's troubles. Zheng Guo is fortunate not to perish, but it can still make Jin Jun feel relieved; If the country is unfortunately destroyed, although Jin Jun is worried, Zheng Ren can't feel it. The Jin State has many enemies, and they all have to count on the Jin State to help fight against it; Since we serve the Jin Kingdom, we dare not have two hearts. ”
