During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was the supreme overlord, but after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the State of Qi gradually lost its hegemony, and the State of Jin and the State of Chu began to become the protagonists of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Duke Wen of Jin defeated the state of Chu in the Battle of Chengpu and became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, King Zhuang of Chu succeeded in taking revenge in the Battle of Yi, defeating the Jin State and restoring the status of the Chu State.
When the sound of victory in the state of Chu was deafening, the state of Jin had to adopt a strategy of contraction and concentrate on internal cultivation. However, at this time, the Qi State in the east began to be restless.
In order to avoid hostility with all sides, the Jin State sent the Great Doctor Xun Ke to the Qi State. Qi Qinggong (Jiang surname, Lü family, name Wuye), a monarch with the ambition of restoring the hegemony of the Duke of Qi Huan, decided to humiliate the envoys of the Jin State in order to find out the strength of the Jin State.
He Ke was a doctor in the Jin Kingdom, and he had some difficulty walking because he had some problems with his legs. However, the envoys of the State of Qi brought him astonishing news: they also sent a man with walking difficulties to lead the way.
When Xun Ke saw this person, he was a little surprised, but what he didn't expect was that he also met the envoys of Lu and Wei on the way. What is even more surprising is that both messengers have their own problems: one is a cauldron and the other has only one eye.
These three people with walking disabilities walk together on the road, forming a unique picture. The Qi people's approach was somewhat unexpected, but Xun Ke still accepted their help and successfully completed the task.
Xun Ke went out to the Qi State on behalf of the Jin State, but was humiliated by Qi Qinggong at the banquet, not only he was insulted personally, but more seriously, the entire Jin Kingdom was humiliated by Qi Qinggong.
Although in the face of such humiliation, Xun Ke did not forget his mission and held back his anger, but he did not expect that greater humiliation was yet to come. Qi Qinggong actually let his mother hide behind the curtain**, which made Xun Ke feel very angry and helpless.
Watching Hao Ke limp up the steps, Uncle Xiao Tong couldn't help but laugh. This made Xun Ke's emotions completely explode, and he vowed: "If I don't take revenge, I will never cross the river again!" ”
The state of Qi was located in Shandong, and the state of Jin was north of the Yellow River, and Xun Ke meant to meet the Qi soldiers again. After returning to China, he asked Jin Jinggong to send troops to attack the state of Qi. However, because the Battle of Yi had just ended, and the Jin Kingdom had not yet recovered, Jin Jinggong had to persuade him: "How can your personal grievances become a problem for national affairs?" ”
Qi Qinggong did not retaliate and humiliate the envoys of the Jin State, but instead launched a war against the Lu State and the Wei State. In 589 BC, the Jin state regained its vitality and appointed Xun Ke as the commander-in-chief to lead the army to aid the Lu state.
In the big war, Qi Guo got off to a good start and shot and injured Jin State coach Xun Ke. However, in the case of being shot and wounded, in order to take revenge, he endured the pain and insisted on fighting.
His perseverance and determination eventually helped the Jin Kingdom to achieve victory and washed away the Jin State's shame.
In the confrontation between the two armies, only the brave and good fighters can win. In this battle, the performance of the Qi army was not satisfactory, and Qi Qinggong could only flee by car at the critical moment.
Luckily, his subordinate Han Ju was in hot pursuit, and eventually helped him escape. However, the battle did not end there. Xun Ke of the Jin State expressed his dissatisfaction with Qi Guo's behavior and demanded that Qi Guo hand over Xiao Tong's uncle, Qi Qinggong's mother.
If this is really done, Qi will lose face. In order to protect the face of Qi, the Jin State finally forced the Qi State to return the land that had previously occupied the Lu State and the Wei State.
This experience made Qi Qinggong realize the value of people with disabilities, he no longer looked down on them, and became calm. Since then, he has begun to govern the country with his heart for the benefit of the people.
