Why didn t the king of Chu kill Duke Wen of Jin and sit back and watch him dominate in the future?

I think that the King of Chu should not have thought that the Jin Wen Guild would become a threat at that time, and the King of Chu appreciated the heroism of the Jin Wen Gong more.

In fact, he admired Jin Wengong from the bottom of his heart, and his humble and unpretentious spirit convinced him. In fact, the purpose of not killing heavy ears is also to curb the internal contradictions of the country, and to leave some external troubles to distract one's attention, so as to avoid the recurrence of internal struggles. Another reason is that the spirit of desperate resistance of the Song people in the Battle of Hongshui made him lament the difficulty of the war, so he deliberately wanted to improve his international image and win a more harmonious surrounding environment.

Because he didn't expect that the strength of the Jin State would become so strong in the future, the overlord at that time was still the Qi State, if the King of Chu killed the son of another country, it would undoubtedly give other countries a chance to crusade.

He couldn't have imagined it. At that time, if he knew that Jin Wengong would be able to dominate in the future, he would definitely kill him.

The battle was: Battle of Chengpu.

The Battle of Chengpu was the first major battle between Jin and Chu in the Chengpu region of Wei (southwest of Juancheng, Shandong) in the 20th year of King Xiang of Zhou (632 BC) for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Duke Wen of Jin fulfilled the promise of "retreating" made in exile in Chu that year, and ordered the Jin army to retreat and avoid the edge of the Chu army. Ziyu ignored the admonition of King Chu Cheng and led his army to advance, but was annihilated by the Jin army. The Chu army was defeated.

In the first battle of Chengpu, the Jin State won a great victory, the Jin Wengong established hegemony, and the northward advance of the Chu State was frustrated and was forced to retreat to the area south of Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain. The princes of the Central Plains all went to the dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. Ziyu, the general of the state of Chu, committed suicide in shame.

After that, the Jin army entered Zheng Guo Hengyong (west of Yuanyang County, Henan, on the south bank of the Yellow River at that time), and built the king's palace at Jiantu (close to Hengyong, which was also on the south bank of the Yellow River at that time, on the north bank of the Yellow River at Huayuankou, Henan), and offered prisoners to King Xiang.

King Xiang of Zhou ordered Jin Wen Gong to be"Houber"。Duke Wen of Jin asked the princes"All awards to the royal family, no harm to each other. There is this alliance of Chongqing, the gods are killed, and there is no country of Kezuo"。Jin Wen Gong is here"The King"Under the banner of the , it was logical to ascend to the throne of the hegemon.

The Battle of Chengpu is the earliest well-documented battle in Chinese history, and it is also a model of tactics for luring the enemy into depth. It is said that it was a plan of the ancestors. 632 BC,

Duke Wen of Jin promised King Cheng of Chu to retreat around 636 BC, which occurred during the Warring States Period. The background was the growing military conflict and economic competition between the Jin and Chu states at that time.

According to the historical book "Zuo Chuan", King Cheng of Chu attacked the Jin state, occupied the territory of the Jin state and besieged the capital of the Jin state, forcing the Jin state to be in danger. In order to protect the country and the people, Duke Wen of Jin chose to reach a peace treaty with the state of Chu and agreed to the request of King Cheng of Chu, that is, to retreat and give up part of the territory.

This evasive peace treaty was a humiliating compromise for the Jin state at that time, but it also retained part of the strength of the Jin state and maintained the existence of the state. This incident shows the balance of power between the countries at that time and the impact of military conflicts on national policy.

<> "Why did King Zhao of Zhou Zhen attack the state of Chu? What happened to him?

During the period of Zhou Cheng and King Kang, the eastern capital Luoyi was built, and the east and west were connected together, which was more than 1,000 miles long, and initially consolidated the rule of the "Eastern Soil". During the reign of the Zhou Dynasty, the state of Chu on the one hand humiliated the Zhou royal family, and on the other hand, "the road is blue", and the country has shown a flourishing trend. So by the time of King Zhao of Zhou, the relationship between Zhou and Chu began to become tense, and King Zhao of Zhou concentrated all his efforts to attack the state of Chu.

According to the inscription of the "Wall Plate" unearthed in Fufeng, Shaanxi, it is recorded: "Honglu Zhao (Zhao) King, Guangzhi Jingchu, only hunting south." It can be seen that Prince Zhao of Zhou led the army to the south, and the momentum was huge.

According to the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", King Zhao of Zhou attacked Chu three times:

For the first time, in the sixteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou (about 985 BC), King Zhao of Zhou "attacked Chu, involved Han, and met Daji". In this case, it is generally believed that the time is the same as that recorded in the above-mentioned "Wall Plate". King Zhao of Zhou led the army across the Han River and penetrated deep into the Jingchu area.

When crossing the Han River, he also met the "big man" (兕, an animal such as an ancient rhinoceros, "Zuo Chuan Xuangong Second Year": "There are still many rhinos").

The second time, in the nineteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou (about 982 BC), King Zhao of Zhou sent the priest Xin Bo to attack Chu, "the day is great, the pheasants and rabbits are all shaken, and the six divisions are lost in Han". When crossing the Han River this time, the wind suddenly rose, the weather was bad, the soldiers were frightened, and most of the army was lost. This defeat was attributed to the unfavorable weather, and in fact the Zhou army was strongly ambushed by the Chu army.

The third time, "In the last years of King Zhao, the night was clear, the five-color light ran through the purple micro, and the king did not return to the south." This year, according to the Lu Ji year, should be the twenty-fourth year of King Zhao of Zhou (about 977 BC). In this attack on Chu, King Zhao of Zhou's entire army was resumed, and the Zhou people talked about it and said vaguely that "the southern tour will not return".

The cause of the death of King Zhao of Zhou, "Historical Justice" quoted "Imperial Century" as saying: "King Zhao's virtue declined, the south conquered the Han Dynasty, and the boatmen were evil, and they advanced with rubber boats." The king's boat reached the middle stream, the glue ship was dissolved, and the king and the priest were both submerged in the water and collapsed.

The "boat man" mentioned here is the Chu people who rose up to resist the Zhou and designed the ship to be glued together, the ship sailed to the middle stream, the glue melted, the ship disintegrated, and King Zhao of Zhou and his subordinates drowned. Qu Yuan wrote in "Tianwen": "After Zhao, you will travel, and the south will be at the bottom.

What's the difference? A white pheasant? "King Zhao of Zhou accumulated the southern expedition, of course, not because of greed for anything, but because of the prosperity of the Chu State, Zhou Tianzi was frightened, and he had to lead the army to personally recruit in an attempt to curb the development of the Chu State.

King Zhao of Zhou's attack on Chu and his defeat was a major event in the history of our country. After that, the Zhou Dynasty went from prosperity to decline, and the Chu State became increasingly powerful, gradually embarking on the road of competing with the Zhou royal family.

Although there were 4 famous monarchs at once, it was because the domestic nobles fought fiercely.

To accomplish the great cause of unifying the six countries, it must be an existence that transcends the old system of the six countries, and the backward system of the Chu State belongs to the product of the old era and will inevitably be replaced by Qin.

Although starting from the mourning king of Chu, the state of Chu produced four Ming monarchs at once, but because the contradictions between the various families and nobles of the state of Chu have not been resolved, the strength of the state cannot be effectively gathered together, which will lead to the defeat of the state of Chu in the battle with the state of Qin.

Because the people of Qin were good at fighting, and there was discord within Chu.

Determined by the political system, the Qin State Shang Ying changed the law, and although the Shang Yang died, its law was not extinguished. The state of Chu did not persevere, and Wu Qi's reform ended in failure.

The family dispute in the Chu State was too serious, which led to the internal collapse of the Chu State.

Chu and Qin fought for 200 years, but they were defeated for a while, but in the end, they still rebelled against Qin.

We all know that it is difficult to save money and lose money is very fast, it should not be more than who has more Ming Jun, but to see which country's mediocre lord is more awesome.

Because the state of Chu did not carry out profound changes like the state of Qin, the aristocratic class still held great power, and the social class was solidified, which made it difficult for real talents to be reused, and the army was not strong, so although the state of Chu was large and weak, there was no doubt that it would lose to the state of Qin.

There is a fundamental gap in national strength, and in the battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping, the two sides mobilized 600,000 and 450,000 respectively. As for the State of Chu, don't look at the country, the land is not small, most of it is barbaric. Whether the population is more than Wei is a problem, and the nobles struggled desperately during the fall of the country, and only mobilized 200,000 people in a patchwork of things.

This is because Chu is big but not strong, and the talent reserve of Chu is not enough, and there are few generals who can do it.

Because of the death of King Chu Mourning, Wu Qi lost his asylum and was immediately killed by the opposition, and the three-year reform was over. Qin Xiaogong maintained the Shang Dynasty reform law for more than 20 years, and the new law has been deeply rooted and taken root in the Qin state, laying the foundation for the strength of the Qin state. The size of the Chu State is far greater than that of the Qin State, and the national strength raised by the three-year reform is already considerable, and it seems to be on a par with the Qin State in a short period of time.

There is no change in the future, and the national strength cannot sustain the long-term struggle with Qi, Qin, Zhao and Wei.

You came out with four of them, and there were Wu Qi changes, but they didn't last, you can't stand up to the 7 of them.

The state of Chu recruited in an orderly manner, and could not be as poor as the state of Qin.

It's a lot that you have four out, but you can't stand the seven that people have come out.

Because at the same time, there were five Ming monarchs in the Qin State, and there were a little more.

In the end, the Chu people Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang slaughtered the wild dogs of the Qin State, the Chu people established the Western Chu Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty was extinct.

In order to obtain the position of overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Wen of Jin sent troops to help the Song State and the Chu State to start a war, and the Battle of Chengpu was the battle.

It was the Battle of Chengpu.

The Battle of Chengpu (632 BC, on the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month, the Chu army and the Jin army fought in Chengpu (now southwest of Juancheng, Shandong)) was a major battle between the Jin and Chu states after the alliance of Qi and Chu Zhaoling and the battle of Song and Chu Hong, which was of great significance in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. It stifled the northward expansion of the Chu State, stabilized the situation in the Central Plains, and established the hegemony of the Jin State.

Battle of Chengpu.

In 632 B.C., Duke Wen of Jin and the allied armies of Qi, Song, Qin and other countries defeated the state of Chu here.
