Smart and deep calculation

In 662 BC, Lu Zhuang Duke Hong, his successor, Ban He Lu Mingong All of them are in Zhuang Gongdi Qingfu Under the control of, he was in power for 2 months and 2 years. Finally Ji You Assisting Ji Shen, a young man, to ascend the throne, was for Duke Xi of Lu. There are few leaders of state disorder, and Ji You has great power State of Lu It also plays the role of pillar stone. Gradually, Duke Xi can also use it Sanhuan He Zhongchen (such as Zang Wenzhong )The forces check each other, and the monarch gradually improves.
Ji You, the 16th year of Zhixi Duke Gongsunzi After his death, Duke Xi had completely mastered the state affairs in 17 years (643 BC), Duke Huan of Qi Death, Qi State Civil unrest, up to 632 BC Chengpu Battle The world is in a state of "no uncle", the international situation is unpredictable, and the living environment of small and medium-sized countries is extremely harsh. It is in this specific historical period and environment of 10 years that Duke Xi of Lu devoted his endless efforts to show us his amazing political wisdom and resourceful and strange coping ability, which once almost made a qualitative leap for the State of Lu.
Duke Huan of Lu (reigned from 711 BC to 694 BC) was really mediocre in governing the country( Ginger )And my brother-in-law( Qi Xianggong )He was murdered by Qi because of his adultery. However, he is such a coward, but he is good at giving birth to Jiazi: not only Lu Zhuang Duke Wise and capable (Although Qi's hegemony was established later, he still won enough respect from the overlord of Lu by virtue of his outstanding performance. See“ Cao Gui's Debate ”), and, Qingfu Tertiary tooth Ji You Three childrens (their family name“ Sanhuan ”, and finally raised the monarch) are also powerful roles. In 662 BC, Lu Zhuang became the king of Lu, and the struggle for power and inheritance began. In a word, after two years of messy struggle, in 659 BC, Uncle Ya, Young Master Ban, Min Gong, and Qing Fu died successively, and finally Ji You assisted the young Ji Shen to take the throne for Lu Xi Gong (659-627 BC)

Make Qi according to Chu

In the first 656 years, with the hegemon at that time Duke Huan of Qi Expediting Chu, and the Chu doctor Qu finished Alliance and return.
In 643 BC, Duke Huan of Qi died. In the following years, Qi was in civil strife, Song Xianggong Want to be the overlord. Duke Xi of Lu, together with the State of Chu and others Alliance of princes Yu Qi gradually strengthened ties with Chu, because Chu was likely to become a new overlord at that time. In the spring of 638 BC, Duke Xi of Lu saved Obligatory sentence (whose mother came from the country of origin) Obligatory sentence Country. August, Zhuguo To rob Xuju, Duke Xi of Lu despised the enemy, Zang Wenzhong Admonishment: "Even if it is a small country, it should not be despised; if there is no defense, even if there are many people, it is not reliable. The poem says: 'Be cautious, like walking on thin ice in the face of an abyss.' It also says: 'Respect it, heaven only shows thought, life is not easy!' Even if Mingde If the former king, he will also face difficulties and fear, not to mention our small country? My lord, don't say that Zhuguo is a small country, wasps and scorpions They are poisonous, not to mention a country? " Duke Xi of Lu didn't listen to his advice, so he was defeated in Shengxing. Even the nobles of Duke Xi of Lu were taken as trophies by Zhu people and hung on Fishgate To show off. [3-4]
at that time Wei He is the sworn enemy of Xing and Di, supported by the State of Qi Xing State , and the State of Lu, together with Wei Lu Form an alliance against Qi and Xing. However, the reality shows that Duke Xi of Lu still overestimated himself. Although Wei had an advantage over Xing Da (Wei destroyed Xing in 635 years ago), Qi sent troops to attack Lu in 634 years ago after its diplomatic failure. From the comparison of national strength at that time, Lu was not Qi's opponent at all. Lu Xi Gong Sect Zhan Xi Go to make peace, Zhan Xicongnai Exhibition bird (That is, Liu Xiahui) learned some wonderful words there, saying that Qilu friendship came from the order of the Emperor and was also the will of Duke Huan of Qi, and unexpectedly Duke Xiaogong of Qi I said we should withdraw. However, Duke Xi of Lu's move was just a delaying tactic. Then he sent Young Master Sui (Xi Gongdi) Zang Wenzhong Borrow troops from the State of Chu. [5]
At this time, the State of Chu district magistrate jade from river beds Ambitious in seeking hegemony and attacking unconvinced Song State Of course, we will not miss this good opportunity. In the winter of 634 BC, Chu and Lu attacked and defeated the State of Qi, occupied the "hub" area, and arranged Yong, the son of Duke Huan of Qi, there to spy on the throne at any time. This is really a powerful and vicious move. At this time, the State of Lu took the lead in forming an alliance with the powerful State of Chu, threatening the State of Qi. If Ziyu succeeds, it is very possible for the State of Lu to control the State of Qi and seek hegemony in the east. but Prince Wen of Jin His dream came to nothing with his debut. [1]

Wall mounted steering

At that time, the struggle of Jin and Chu for hegemony in the Central Plains had become completely white hot. As a staunch ally of Lu and Chu, Wei became the front line of Jin Wen's attack. At that time, Lu and Chu both sent troops to defend Wei, but they were still unable to defeat the Jin army. This was the critical moment that determined Lu's fate. History showed that if you stood in the wrong team, the consequences would be tragic. Until the decisive battle, the number of winners and losers of Jin and Chu was still unclear. At that time, Duke Xi of Lu played a unique skill that made people surprised: killed the senior general of the State of Lu, Prince Mai, and said to the State of Jin: Prince Mai led troops to help Chu against military orders, and had nothing to do with the monarch, so killing him showed that the State of Lu had no hostility to the State of Jin. He also sent someone to tell the State of Chu that he was ineffective in fighting and did not help the State of Chu fight well, so he killed him. At that time, all the princes in the world took part in the war. When the losses were heavy, the State of Lu stood on the sidelines and was unscathed. First, it was because the powerful officials of the State of Lu were so powerful that they made up statements that were really confusing. Second, it is mainly that Jin and Chu are brewing a battle of life and death that will determine their fate, so they have no time to investigate so many details.
Chengpu Battle The allied forces of Jin, Qi, Qin and Song defeated Chu, Wei, Chen Cai coalition forces, Prince Wen of Jin Win completely and establish hegemony completely. Lu also tactfully participated in the meeting between Jian Tu and Wen hosted by Jin, and became the victor. In 629 years ago, due to the active approach to Jin, Lu shared the land of the defeated country (the former ally) to defend the country (the land of Jixi), making full use of the oil. In the summer and autumn of 627 BC, Duke Xi of Lu sent troops to attack Zhu twice to avenge the Shengxing Campaign , captured Zi Lou In the winter of the same year, he entered Qi and expressed condolences to the troops fighting with the Di people, which basically restored the relationship between the two countries. He died shortly after returning home. [6]

In short, during this specific historical period, State of Lu I am skilled in international relations and can gain the most with the least cost. In the Chengpu War, the Jin and Qi countries undoubtedly gained the most, but small and medium-sized countries, even the victors like the Song State, suffered extremely heavy sacrifices. Although Duke Xi Lu did not accomplish his highest goal, it was not what he could control. His efforts and command had been brought into full play. He didn't Prince Wen of Jin He was a great monarch at that time.
