In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, there were two major hegemons in the Central Plains, namely the Jin State and the Chu State.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and the two hegemons have fought several wars in order to compete for control of the Central Plains.
There are countless small wars, and there are three major large-scale wars, namely the Battle of Chengpu, the Battle of Wu and the Battle of Yanling, the Battle of Chengpu and the Battle of Yanling are all won by the Jin State, and the Battle of Wu is won by the Chu State, and finally the two great powers reach an agreement, abandoning the situation of dominance in the Central Plains and living in peace.
However, after the end of the Second Large-scale War, due to the defeat of the Jin State, the State of Qi, which had lost its hegemonic position, took advantage of the fire and robbery and fell into the well, hoping to take the opportunity to provoke the Jin State.
And the situation of the Jin state at this time is not optimistic, in the Central Plains Jin state is not a single one, and has just lost the battle with the Chu state of The Battle of Qi, the east has the strong enemy of the state of Qi, which is a tiger," and the west has a strong state of Qin, which is not weak, from a geographical point of view, the state of Jin is a strong enemy in addition to the north.
In order to break this dilemma, the Duke of Jin Jing had to make corresponding countermeasures, in 592 BC, the Duke of Jin Jing sent the doctor Hao Ke to the State of Qi, intending to win over the State of Qi to form an alliance, what the Duke of Jin Jing did not know was that the State of Qi was trying to take advantage of the fire and robbery, but this time at the meeting, the Duke of Qi played with the Qi Ke well, but also laid the groundwork for the defeat of the State of Qi later.
The Jin state doctor who sent the envoy to the State of Qi, Hao Ke, was a disabled person, and his legs and feet were not very flexible, and after Qi Qinggong saw it, he specially found a cripple in the State of Qi to act as the leader of Qi Ke, and at first Hao Ke did not care about this, so he followed the leader to meet Qi Qinggong, and at the same time, there was also an emissary of the Cao State and an emissary of the Wei State who met the Duke of Qi.
I don't know whether it was a mistake in the historical records or a coincidence in the darkness, this envoy of the Cao Kingdom was a Luo Guo, and qi Qinggong found a Luo Guo to act as the leader of the cao guo's emissaries.
The emissary of the guardian country is a "one-eyed dragon", Qi Qinggong found a "one-eyed dragon" to act as the leader of the envoy of the guardianship, everyone can make up for it, this scene is actually very funny, the lame man leads the cripple, the Luo pot leads the Luo pot, and the one-eyed dragon leads the one-eyed dragon.
As an emissary, itself represents a country, Qi Qinggong so teased the emissaries of other countries, which made Hao Ke very unhappy, in fact, at the beginning of a cripple led Qi Ke to see Qi Qinggong, Qi Ke did not care too much, but when he saw that the emissaries of Cao Guo and the emissaries of the Wei Kingdom had this encounter, Hao Ke knew that this was a great humiliation to himself and the Jin State.
And Qi Qinggong also played a big game this time, that is, to let his mother sit behind him, when he saw the funny scene of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms going to the temple in turn, the empress dowager could no longer control her emotions and laughed loudly, which made Hao Ke even more resentful.
After returning to the Jin Dynasty after the mission, Hao Ke reported the matter to the Jin Jinggong, but the Jin Jinggong educated Hao Ke, why? Jin Jinggong said: You are angry alone, how can you let the whole country get involved?
The resentment of the Son is enough to annoy the country
Hao Ke had to bury this hatred in his heart and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Still that sentence, the emissaries of a country represent the face of a country, so why did Jin Jinggong swallow his anger this time, mainly because he had just lost the battle with the Chu State, and there were strong enemies on both the east and west sides, so Jin Jinggong was also helpless, at this time it was best not to make strong enemies again, otherwise there were strong enemies on three sides, and the Jin state was afraid that it would be destroyed.
However, Qi Qinggong saw that this time he had fiercely humiliated the envoys of the Jin State, but the Jin State did not make any movement, so he wanted to kick his nose in the face and further provoke the Jin State.
In 589 BC, Qi Qing led an army to attack the State of Lu, and the Wei State rescued the State of Lu was also defeated by the State of Qi, and the two countries had to ask the State of Jin for help, and the Duke of Jin Jing was afraid of the alliance between the State of Qi and the State of Chu this time, so he agreed to the request of the two countries and sent troops to attack the State of Qi, with the last humiliated Hao Ke as the main general and Han Yue as the Sima to rescue the State of Lu and the State of Wei.
At first, Qi Qinggong's ambitions, which had already taken advantage of the advantage, were extremely inflated, and he did not pay any attention to the Jin army, and actually threatened not to eat breakfast until he defeated the Jin army.
The battle had just begun, and due to the inconvenience of physical mobility, Hao Ke was quickly injured, but in order to repay the humiliation of the last time, Hao Ke gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting.
Even though Hao Ke was injured, the drumsticks in his hand never stopped, and the main general's life also made the soldiers under his morale high, and eventually the army of the State of Qi was defeated and scattered.
The person responsible for chasing after Qi Qinggong was Han Wei.
Han Yu chased after him in the back, there was a guard on each side, at this time Qi Qinggong's guards said to Qi Qinggong that the driver looked like a gentleman and quickly shot him to death, but Qi Qinggong said: Since the other party is a gentleman, shooting him is not in accordance with the law. So he shot the guards on both sides of Han Yue to death, but Han Yue still chased after him.
Seeing the critical moment, Qi Qinggong's guard Feng Ugly Father took advantage of Han Que's move of the corpses of the guards around him and took the opportunity to come to a "tanuki cat for prince", he immediately stood in the position of Qi Qinggong, and let Qi Qinggong stand on the right side of the chariot.
Unfortunately, Qi Qinggong's chariot was hung by a branch, so that Han Que caught up with Qi Qinggong's chariot. It was a pity that Han Que did not know Qi Qinggong, while Feng Ugly's father pretended to be Qi Qinggong, and Han Yue could not distinguish between them.
Pretending to be Qi Qinggong, Feng Qiu's father asked his guards to fetch water for himself, but Han Yue did not pay attention to this matter because he did not know it, so Qi Qinggong, who pretended to be a guard, went out to fetch water and waited for the opportunity to jump on another chariot to escape.
Han Yue grabbed "Qi Qinggong" and was very happy, after all, this was a great achievement, and pulled "Qi Qinggong" in front of Qi Ke, but Qi Ke had personally seen Qi Qinggong, heard about the whole incident, and only then did he know that it was dropped, And Hao Ke was very angry, and he planned to kill Feng Ugly Father, and Feng Ugly Father shouted: "Kill yourself, from now on, no one is willing to take responsibility for the king, a person who dares to take his own life to save the monarch, how can such a person kill?" ”
Since now, there is no patient who has served as its monarch, and there is one who will be killed for him.
Hao Ke felt deeply moved when he heard this, so he released Feng Ugly Father.
Han Yue originally felt that he had made a great achievement, but he did not expect to catch the wrong person, but even so, Han Yue was still highly used by Jin Jinggong, and Han Yue was promoted to one of the commanders of the Six Armies of the Jin Dynasty.
The army of the Jin State is divided into three armies, and each army has two commanders, that is to say, the actual power of the Jin State is in the hands of these six people, and Han Que has also entered the center of the jin power from a Sima to the center of the Jin state's power, which also marks the rise of Korea, it can be said that it is Han Yue who chased after the Duke of Qi this time without a life, and was recognized by the Duke of Jinjing, thus laying the foundation for the establishment of the last three branches of Jin and Korea.
The defeat of Qi Qinggong this time also revealed a profound truth, we must not fall into the well, take advantage of the fire and robbery, and the two countries in exchanges, do not fight with the strength of their own country, insult the envoys of other countries, the ancients often said that "soldiers can be killed can not be disgraced", let alone because of a momentary scenery, they will begin to flutter, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
