The doctors didn't think too much about it when they persuaded Wei Linggong on the outskirts of the city, and no one dared to take the lead in showing the intention of opposing Jin, but only mechanically echoed the language that was beneficial to Wei Linggong. But as soon as people had time to think alone, they began to feel indignant at the arrogance of the Jin people.

Someone said: "Has there ever been such a thing in the world that oppresses allies?" I don't think so! In that year, Zheng Guo repeatedly rebelled against Jin, and after the Jin Mourning Duke conquered Zheng State, he did not ask Zheng people to provide hostages. Could it be that Wei Guo is more cunning and changeable than Zheng Guo, or Zheng Guo is more loyal than Wei Guo? If we are neither, why should we be treated more cruelly than we are to our enemies? Our next generation is going to take charge of the Patriotic Society, and if we hand them over, aren't we destroying the Sect Temple?! What a stupid thing a cowardly person would have to do! If Uncle Kang's descendants had been obedient, the country would have been destroyed long ago! ”

Wang Sunjia and Kong Yu also began to indoctrinate the doctors, and the two soon provoked strong hostility against the Jin. This sentiment has spread from the circle of doctors to the circle of retainers, and from the circle of retainers to the entire class of the countrymen. Once the emotions of the people are aroused, the public office must respond publicly.

However, the preparations of each family were not moved by public grievances, and they were still proceeding in an orderly manner - Wei Linggong was preparing to detonate the anti-Jin nuclear warhead at the send-off ceremony held for the hostages.

The day of separation has finally arrived. It was a gloomy autumn morning with clouds and a bleak autumn breeze. The Labor Gate enlarged the area of the Taimiao Square in advance so that it could accommodate more people; The area of the high platform in front of the door was enlarged so that more people could stand on it.

Wei Linggong led the doctors and sons to enter the temple early to bid farewell to their ancestors. When the bell in the temple rang, the people began to gather in the square from all directions.

After the ceremony, Wei Linggong led the people out of the gate of the temple and climbed on the high platform. The Chinese people saw that the oldest of the sons who were about to travel as hostages were in their thirties, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

Wei Linggong deliberately let the two youngest children stand on his left and right. The two boys already knew what the big scene before them meant; Their expressions were a little nervous, their bodies trembling slightly, but they still pursed their thin lips, but they tried to control their emotions and make themselves look like they normally would. The strong performance of the two children shocked and worried everyone present.

Wei Linggong put his arm around the child's shoulders and said to the people: "Everyone must have heard about what happened today. These two children, including the young people who have left the widow, are the future rulers of the country, the pillars of the country's society; Without them, the country loses its future. However, they are about to become hostages of the Jin Kingdom!

"Why are they being taken hostage? Is it because Wei Guo betrayed the Jin Kingdom? No! Is it because of a new alliance? Neither is it! The widow told you the reason: it is because the people of the Jin Kingdom feel disliked, high, and happy with the people of the country! They feel that they can do whatever they want, right, how, what, do it! Therefore, the Jin people kidnapped the rulers of our next generation today, and tomorrow they will order the Weiguo to be divided into a county of the Jin State!

"Some people will ask, 'Why did the Jin people become so bad?' But when did they get better? They imprisoned the first father, forced the first doctor Kong Da to death, protected the Sun family, and shook the public office; For a hundred years, we have devoted ourselves to sending our children to all kinds of battlefields, so that they will die without a place to be buried; and levied heavy offerings to the Guardians to satisfy their boundless greed and so-called 'supremacy'. Now they are finally no longer satisfied with our property and soldiers, and have finally begun to covet the land of the Patriotic Nation!

However, the widow had to accept the conditions of the Jin people, because after all, there were only a few dozen of these young people and children, and the number of the countrymen was thousands. It would be a great injustice for a few dozen people to immediately plunge tens of millions of people into the danger of war. Forget it! So be it! The people who were conquered by the Jin people a hundred years ago have now become members of the Jin Kingdom. Chinese people can live anywhere, so why care if the surname is 'Wei' or 'Jin'?

"For the sake of the lives of the people, even if the Jin people ask the widow to be a hostage, the widow will not dare to refuse! Take a good look at these faces, you're probably going to see them for the last time! As you enjoy the warmth of your winter fire, don't forget that they sacrificed themselves for a safe life! It also included the two boys in front of the widow. ”

Wei Linggong couldn't hold back his sad emotions anymore, and began to wipe away his tears, and the doctors and princes around him, and the people in front of him began to cry bitterly; The two children could no longer control themselves, and they cried loudly with the people; And the child's cry made those present feel even more heartbroken and angry.

After a while, Wang Sun Jia stepped forward, raised his arms and roared hoarsely: "The descendants of King Wen and the descendants of Uncle Kang, please tell the prince: Are you willing to be the master of the Wei Kingdom or the slave of the Jin State?!" ”

The people waved their fists angrily and shouted: "We want to be the masters of the country!" Don't be a slave of the Jin Kingdom! ”

Wang Sunjia continued to ask: "If we tear up the alliance, the Jin State will launch at least five attacks on our country. After the fifth war in our country, will we be able to continue fighting?! ”

The people shouted: "After five wars, we can still fight!" ”

Wang Sunjia continued to ask, "Would you rather have the surname Wei or the surname Jin?" ”

The Chinese replied: "The surname is Wei! ”

Wang Sunjia asked: "The surname Wei means betraying the Jin Kingdom, are you ready?!" ”

The Chinese shouted, "It's done!" ”

Wang Sunjia said: "You guys be louder! Let the ancestors in the temple also hear it! ”

The Chinese people shouted hoarsely: "We, do, good, accurate, ready!" ”

Wei Linggong had just stopped his grief, and at this time he choked up again. Wang Sun Jia saw that Wei Linggong's emotions were out of control, and he knew that he could not be expected to issue orders, so he raised his fist and roared with all his strength: "Betrayal!" Rebellion! ”

The crowd imitated his movements and shouted in his voice: "Betrayal! Rebellion! ”

In this way, the people of the Jin Kingdom personally pushed the defense of the country to their opposite.

When the news reached the Jin Kingdom, Shi Ying was greatly shocked. He hurriedly sent an envoy to Wei Guo, trying to persuade Wei Linggong to return to the arms of the Jin State, and offered very generous conditions. "Betraying the Jin" was Wei Linggong's long-planned idea, and it was by no means something that could be changed by the Jin people with a few words and verbal promises, and he immediately rejected it.

The messenger persuaded him that if he could not return, at least a peace treaty should be signed. Although the two countries cannot be friends, they will not be enemies? Wei Linggong still resolutely refused. The envoy had no choice but to return to the Jin kingdom in a huff. At this time, Le Qi died on the way out of the Jin Kingdom.

Shi Ying wanted to teach the country a lesson, but he was no longer able to mobilize the army of the princes: the Lu division fought two battles a year and was already very tired; Le Qi's death has not been properly resolved, and naturally it is impossible to ask Song Guo to come out; Other countries either traveled far or took refuge in the Qi state.

Shi Yan had to make some fuss about the Zhou people. As mentioned earlier, Zheng Jun once helped Dan Pian and other traitors occupy several Eastern Zhou cities; Shi Ying sent an envoy to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and asked the Eastern Zhou to send a division under the guise of revenge for the royal family.

At the end of autumn and August, the combined forces of the Eastern Zhou and Jin first invaded Zheng State, and then marched east to invade Wei State. Shi Ying calculated that the people of the Lu country should be repaired, and transferred the Lu division out to invade and defend together. However, Lu and Wei have been brotherly countries for generations, and of course there will be no rift in the relations between the two countries due to differences in their positions. The Lu army perfunctorily circled around the territory of the country and returned home (after which the Yanghu Rebellion broke out).

After the coalition retreated, Wei Linggong went to Linzi to meet Qi Jinggong and joined the anti-Jin alliance with great fanfare. Qi Jinggong suggested that he go to Zheng Guo; Because Wei and Zheng still haven't established an alliance until now. Wei Linggong personally went to Zheng Guo and signed an anti-Jin alliance treaty with Zheng Xiangong.
