Qin Mugong sins crying in the mountains
Author‖Liang Chao
winter in the winter of the thirty-second year of Qin Mugong (628 BC), then Jin Wengong had just died.
At this time, Qi Zi sent someone from Zheng State to send a letter back to Duke Mu, saying: "The Zheng people handed me the key to the north gate. If you send troops quietly and I open the city gate, then the State of Zheng will get it immediately."
Qin Mu asked Jian Shu and Baili Xi . Both of them said: After passing several countries, they attacked others for thousands of miles, and few were successful.
And Zheng State will definitely know the actions of our army, so we can't go.
However, Qin Mu Duke said stubbornly: I have decided, you two don’t have to say anything more.
So he decided to send Baili Xi's son Meng Mingshi , Jian Shu's son Xiqishu and Bai Qibing's San will take tens of thousands of elite troops to attack Zheng State (now Xinzheng City, Henan Province).
Before the troops were launched, Baili Xi and Jian Shu cried to see the army off. Qin Mugong was very angry when he saw this and said: I want to send troops, but you came crying. This is to be depressed by the morale of our army. Why are you two?
The two elders replied: We dare not be depressed by the morale. But we are old and our son is going to go on a war, afraid that we will never see it again.
The two elders turned around and said to their son: Your army will definitely be defeated, and the Jin people will block you in Wushan. Please pay attention.
In the spring of the 33rd year of Duke Mu of Qin (627 BC), the Qin army came out from the east. When passing through the north gate of the Zhou royal family, only the soldiers on the left and right of the car took off their helmets and got out of the car to pay tribute. The rest of the people didn't care.
And many soldiers were unwilling to walk, but jumped onto the chariots, and about 300 chariots were filled with soldiers.
After looking at the Qin army, King Sun Man of Zhou said: The Qin army is provocative and rude, and has no military discipline, and will definitely be defeated and returned.
When the Qin army passed by 日本 , a businessman from Zheng State Xian Gao was selling cattle to the Zhou land (now around Luoyang) to sell it. When he saw the Qin army, he immediately gave all the twelve cows he brought to 日本 and said: I heard that the Qin Kingdom was about to destroy the small Zheng State, and the king of Zheng was ready to fight, so he sent me to send twelve cows to reward the soldiers of the army first.
After hearing this, the three generals of the Qin army quickly discussed: Since Zheng State already knew that our army was going to attack, it would be useless to go now.
So he changed his way to destroy Huaguo, and then planned to withdraw his troops.
But Hua State is a country of the same surname as Jin State , and Duke Wen of Jin had just died and was not buried yet.
So Prince Xiang of Jin said angrily: It is rude to bully me and lose my father and take the opportunity to defeat my country with the same surname. So, the mourning clothes were dyed black, and the Jin army was transferred to block the Qin army in Gushan, defeated the Qin army in one battle, and captured all three Qin generals, Meng, Xi and Bai.
At this time, Duke Wen of Jin was Princess Wenying, the daughter of Duke Mu of Qin. She did not want Qin and Jin to make enemies, so she told Duke Xiang of Jin : These three people provoke the relationship between the monarchs of our two countries. Duke Mu hated these three people to the bone. Why do you have to kill them yourself and offend the Qin people? It would be better to let them go back and let my father, Lord Mu, execute them to death, so as to avoid others saying that our Jin State is unkind and unrighteous.
So, Duke Xiang of Jin agreed to his mother's suggestion and released the three generals, Meng, Xi and Bai.
When the three generals of Qin returned to Qin, Qin Mu Gong was wearing plain clothes and cried to the outskirts of Yongcheng to pick up Meng, Xi, Bai and others. Seeing this, the three generals hurriedly knelt down and asked for death, but Mr. Mu cried and said: It was because I did not listen to Baili Xi and Jian Shu that caused you three to suffer shame. This is not your fault.
From today on, you just need to concentrate on planning to avenge your shame and not slacken.
So, not only did the three people be restored, but they also trusted them very much.
In the 34th year of Duke Mu of Qin (62 BC to 6 BC), Duke Mu of Qin sent Meng Mingshi and others to lead troops eastward many times, and fought with the Jin army at Pengya (now northeast of Baishui, Shaanxi), , and the Qin army still suffered more defeats and fewer victory.
In the 32nd year of Duke Mu (624 BC), Duke Mu of Qin personally led his troops to attack Jin State. After crossing the Yellow River, he burned all the ferries, expressing his determination to defeat the enemy to the death.
The Qin army was greatly motivated and won Wangguancheng (now Wenxixi, Shanxi) . However, the Jin army refused to go to war (at this time Duke Xiang of Jin was the mother of Princess Wenying, the daughter of Duke Mu of Qin, so his nephew intended to avoid the war). The Qin army had no choice but to cross the Yellow River from Maojin to enter the southern part of Jin, and then fought to the mountainous area on the south bank of the Yellow River. After piled up soil and tags for the soldiers who died in battle on the battlefield, Duke Mu led the generals and the entire army to pay tribute to the incense. After crying, he led the army back to Qin.
Later, after several battles with the Jin army, Qin could not win, and the road to advance east was firmly strangled by Jin. After Duke Mu had no hope of going east, he had to turn to the west to seek development in order to seek hegemony in the world, and soon he was accomplished. Qin people eventually became a domineering in the world. (To be continued)
