What is the main content of the Battle of the Long Spoon?

The Battle of the Long Spoon took place in 683 BC during the Spring and Autumn Period. The two vassal states of Qi and Lu fought at Changsco (now Miaoshan Town, Laiwu, Shandong, north of Qufu), and finally ended with the defeat of Lu and Qi.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi, who had just ascended the throne, did not accept the opinion of "internal politics, external alliance in the country, and waiting for the opportunity to move", and in the spring of the 14th year of King Zhuang of Zhou (683 BC), he sent troops to attack Lu, wanting to defeat Lu in one fell swoop.

At that time, the state of Lu was obviously weaker than the state of Qi, but the Duke of Lu Zhuang paid attention to the renovation of internal affairs, won the trust of the people, and was good at accepting advice, so although the country was weak, the development situation was good. Knowing that the Qi State was coming to attack, Lu Zhuanggong was determined to meet the battle.

According to the middle school text "Zuo Chuan: Cao Di's Polemic", Cao Di, a scheming Lu Guoshi, asked to see Lu Zhuanggong, stated his views to Lu Zhuanggong, and volunteered to go to war with Zhuang Gong.

According to the situation of strong and weak Qi, Lu Zhuanggong led an army of 30,000 to meet the Qi army at Changscoop. The two armies set up a position, and Lu Zhuanggong wanted to strike first, but was persuaded by Cao Di.

Seeing that the Lu army was not moving, the Qi army thought that it was a sign of weakness, so it launched several attacks, but they all returned in vain, and they also lost many soldiers in vain. The Qi army was getting more and more tired and demoralized. Although the Lu army suffered several shocks, it was still in a stable position and its morale was high.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had been significantly reversed, Cao Di suggested that Zhuang Gong carry out a counterattack.

The Lu army concentrated its superior forces, the soldiers were full of energy, and rushed to the Qi army like a tide, the Qi army was in chaos, trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties, and Lu Zhuang Gong also shot an arrow to kill Qi Huangong's son Yong, and the Qi army was defeated.

Lu Zhuanggong wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, Cao Di was worried that the Qi army would feint defeat and lure the enemy deeper, so he immediately got off the car to inspect the rutted traces of the Qi army, and found that the ruts were messy, and then boarded the car to look at the Qi army's banner from a distance, and found that the opponent's flag was crooked, and judged that the Qi army was really defeated, so he suggested that Lu Zhuanggong take advantage of the victory to pursue. The Lu army was unstoppable and drove the Qi army out of the Lu realm in one fell swoop.

This campaign was based on the strategy of striking at the rear, exhausting the enemy's strengths, and fighting the enemy when we were tired.
