Meaningless War in Spring and Autumn Period
First time: In 579 BC, Huayuan, a doctor of the Song Dynasty, brokered the bridge and presided over the military alliance.
Background: In the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, Jin and Chu fought for hegemony in the Central Plains. The two sides are evenly matched, and there are winners and losers in the war, but no one can kill each other. So it has been deadlocked.
Due to two long-term confrontations, some small countries and their people suffered from war, especially Zheng and Song, who were often the objects of contention and suffered the most. Therefore, opposing the war between the people and small and medium-sized countries makes the war for hegemony lose social support; Coupled with the power struggle between the ministers and doctors of the vassal States, the monarch was unable to expand abroad. In this situation, in 579 BC, Huayuan, a doctor of the Song Dynasty, first advocated peace, initiated and presided over a peace movement with the slogan of "Stop Soldiers", seeking reconciliation in Jin Chu and forming an alliance for non-aggression. Chi Bing fought like a rooster for the first time. Although both of them are lying on the ground, they can still stretch their necks and peck me, and I peck you. So the first Red Army only lasted for more than three years, and it ended because Chu broke his word. The battle of Yanling broke out in Chu Jin for the state of Zheng.

In 575 BC, the king of Chu * * * sent someone to bribe Zheng to make peace with Zheng, so Zheng became friends. When Jin learned of Zheng's betrayal, he thought: You heartless Zheng, like a dog, will go with whoever gives you the bones. This time, you have to beat your teeth all over the floor. Personally led a great army against Zheng. When Zheng Chenggong heard the call of the State of Jin, he immediately sent someone to Chu for help. The king of Chu personally sent troops to save Zheng, and Sima Zifan, Ling Zizhong and Youzige were the first of the three armed forces. He and the barbarian army quickly went north to rescue Zheng and entered Yanling.
Chu Jin is facing.
At this time, the Jin army had already crossed the Yellow River and joined forces with the Chu army in Yanling. June 29th of the lunar calendar is an unlucky day for ancient soldiers. The Chu army wanted to make a quick decision before the arrival of the allied forces of Qi, Lu, Song and Wei who helped the Jin army, so on the morning of June 29, while the Jin army was unprepared, under the cover of morning fog, it suddenly approached the camp of the Jin army.

In front of the king of Chu, there is the plow of the State of Jin (the son of Jin Bozong), and in front of it is the Miao of the State of Chu (the son of Yin Doujiao). Both of them are very capable and wise people, and they both give advice to the Lord.
Battle of Yanling
The two armies have been fighting for a whole day, and just now, Wei Jin, the general of the Jin army? He shot the king of Chu in one eye, only to be shot dead by an arrow from Chu Yang. From morning till night, the Chu army was slightly frustrated and the raft was captured, but the outcome of the two sides was undecided. After dark, the army rested and prepared to fight again at dawn. Because the commander-in-chief of the Chu army could not be the director because of drunkenness, the king of Chu * * * retreated overnight, but his son was persecuted by Yin Zizhong and committed suicide. The Jin army successfully invaded the Chu army camp, ate the grain left by the Chu army, and returned to Li after three days' rest there. The battle of Yanling ended with the victory of 8 Jin Army.
The battle of Yanling marked the decline of Chu's struggle for the Central Plains. Although the State of Jin took this opportunity to reorganize its hegemony,
Shortly after the battle of Yanling, many battles broke out between them, each winning or losing: Jin reunited with the princes in the sand of Song, and planned to crusade against Zheng, followed by the armies of Jin, Qi, Song, Lu and Yan, and then against Chen and Cai. Zheng Guozihan sent troops to attack at night, and the Song, Qi and Wei armies were defeated. In 574 BC (the 12th year of King Jian Zhou), Zheng Guo took the initiative to attack the empty and slippery State of Jin (now yanshi city, Henan), and Guo Wei sent troops to rescue the State of Jin. In the summer of the same year, the State of Chu sent Gongzi Cheng and Gongzi Yin to the State of Zheng to help it fight against the State of Jin. Soon, the Jin and Li guilds joined forces with the armies of Zhou, Qi, Song, Lu, Wei, Cao and Zhu to attack Zheng. Led the army to save Zheng, and the Golden Allied Forces retreated on their own. In the winter of the same year, the State of Jin joined forces with the armies of the above-mentioned countries to crusade against and besieged the State of Zheng. Shen, the son of Chu, led the army to save Zheng, and the armies of various countries retreated one after another for fear of the power of Chu.
In this way, you come and I go, and you will not leave. Although Jin is still the overlord of the Central Plains, his control over the governors of the Central Plains is gradually weakening. Although the strength of Chu was greatly reduced after the war of Yanling, it was at a disadvantage in the battle for the Central Plains. However, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the overall strength of the Chu army cannot be underestimated. Jin can't eat Chu. Although there was no war between the two countries, the station never stopped.
Second Meeting of Soldiers: In 546 BC, Xu Xiang, a doctor of the Song Dynasty, presided over this meeting.
Caught in the middle, Guo Zheng and Guo Song can't stand the hegemony between the two countries. These two countries serenade themselves, and successive years of war have led to a sharp decline in their population and barren land.
Thus, in 546 BC, more than 30 years after the battle of Yanling, Dr. Song once again advocated peace. At this time, the gold competition is fierce, and it is too late to look outside; The state of Chu was exhausted by the invasion of Soochow and had no intention of going north. Therefore, he responded positively and invited twelve governors including Qi, Qin, Lu, Song, Zheng, Wei, Cao, Xu, Chen, Cai, Zhu and Teng to attend the meeting. The meeting confirmed that both China and Jin were overlords, and the State of Jin had to serve Chu, and Chu had to serve Jin. All small countries should pay tribute to Qin and Qi at the same time. This time, peace was achieved at the expense of small countries. Since then, big countries have been busy with internal disputes and are unwilling to go to war with foreign countries; Although a small country needed to provide two tributes at the same time, it was taken away by two big countries in Jin Chu. In addition, compared with successive wars, the losses suffered are much less. Therefore, all the vassal States welcomed this peace very much, and the Central Plains War in the Spring and Autumn Period basically ended.
Soldiers from Xu Xiang joined the alliance.
Why did Guo Song take the lead in proposing these two soldiers?
In the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, the great powers fought for hegemony, which lasted for more than 100 years and ended in an armistice. The fundamental reason was that none of the great powers at that time had an absolute advantage, but the active advocacy of the Song State also played an important role. Song actively advocated "garrison" for specific reasons. The protracted war has brought universal disasters and the most serious disasters to small and medium-sized countries, especially Song and Zheng, which are sandwiched between big countries. Only when Song Like and Zheng Can attack Chu from Jin and Chu from Jin can they bear the humiliation. Therefore, Song advocated "stopping soldiers" and spared no effort.
There was no large-scale war in the north after the "Bing Bing" meeting, but the political situation has undergone profound evolution. In all major countries, there is a phenomenon that political power is transferred to doctors. The ruling doctors all seized power in the struggle with the monarch and each other, and the specific situation was different. The ruling doctors are divided into Qing nationality and public nationality. The Qing clan is the children of the same group of Qing scholars, and most of them are related by marriage to the monarch, but they are not the same family of the monarch. Gong Zu is the son of a relative of the monarch. Jin and Qi are typical examples of honest officials in power, while Lu and Zheng are typical examples of public officials in power.
It is a historical trend that doctors came to power in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the agreement was supported by the people to some extent. Sun Wu believes that the Zhao, Wei and Han clans in the Qing Dynasty won the support of the people because of their large mu system, light rent and frugality. It can be seen that doctors in various countries generally pay more attention to winning the hearts of the people when they are in power, and their politics are clearer than when the monarch is in power. After years of development and evolution, the State of Jin was finally divided among the three families of Korea, Zhao and Wei. In Shandong, politics and military are divided, and the monarch becomes a puppet; The Jiang family of Qi was replaced by the Tian family, and gradually transitioned from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period.
