Why didn't Song Xianggong dominate in the Spring and Autumn Period?

Song Xianggong can't seek hegemony, because he lives under the aura of Qi Huangong and the King of Chu. Qi and Chu fought for hegemony, and the State of Qi got its name. Can compete with Qi Huangong, with one enemy and eight, and then the king of Chu came from behind, which is a mountain that Song Xianggong will never be able to cross.

Qi Huangong began to occupy the dominant position, while Chu began to grow and develop. ? King Wen of Chu and Qi Henggong entered the hegemony stage in the Spring and Autumn Period almost at the same time. In 684 BC, King Wen of Chu sent troops to attack Cai and captured Cai Hou. In 680 BC, the king of Chu became a county and occupied Cai. In 679 BC, it joined forces with Song, Chen and Zheng to dominate. The following year, in order to completely get through the passage into the Central Plains and compete with it, the King of Chu went out of the Hanshui River in one fell swoop, destroyed Deng (now Xiangyang, Hubei) and Shen (now Nanyang, Henan), set up a city, and his power reached the outside of the city. Since then, Chu has become a big country in the Central Plains, not anymore? Barbarians? .

In 67 1 BC, Xiong Yun, the king of Chu who was under seven years old, succeeded to the throne and adopted the policy of respecting Zhou relatives. Hey? , and become justified to conquer the quartet? Fang Bo? . In the spring of 656 BC, Eight-Nation Alliance led Qi, Lu, Song, Chen, Wei, Zheng, Xu and Cao to attack Chu and defeated Cai. Chu Chengwang, who is in his early twenties, does not show weakness. He led an army crusade and forced Eight-Nation Alliance to retreat to Zhaoling (now Yancheng East, Henan Province). History has left the Zhuang language of Chu people (Chu sent diplomatic mediation, Qi Henggong held a United Nations military parade:? Who can resist this war? How can we attack this city with this? After bending the needle, he replied relatively:? Chu's Fangcheng thought it was a city, and Hanshui thought it was a pool. Although there are many people, it is useless. ), Qi Huangong weigh the gains and losses, so we have to set the alliance to retreat. The alliance of Zhaoling is the product of compromise after the confrontation of Qi and Chu by force.

The following year, the meeting governors stopped at the first place (now Suixian East, Henan Province) to decide the position of Prince Zhou. King Hui of Zhou was dissatisfied and ordered Zheng Wengong? Listen to Chu and don't join the league? Chu dispatched troops and killed Guo Xian, the in-laws of Qi State (now between Xixian County and Huangchuan, Henan Province), as a sign of unity. In the summer of the following year, the army of Qi, Lu and Song retaliated against Zheng, and the king of Chu personally led the army north to besiege Xu (now Xuchang, Henan), an ally of Qi, to rescue Zheng. Countries sent troops to teach Xu a lesson, but the king of Chu retreated to Wucheng (now the north of Nanyang, Henan Province), still scaring the public, headed by Cai Muhou, and apologized to the king of Chu.

Become angry from embarrassment, want to attack zheng, zheng had to please and together. In 65 1 year BC, Qi Henggong formed an alliance with the vassals in Kuishan, and Zheng and Xu were forced to form an alliance. The king of Chu is not fighting head-on, but? A detour? Continue to weaken each other eastward. In 648 BC, King Chu Cheng sent troops to cut off the river and destroy the Yellow River. Chu cut the river to destroy the Yellow River, and Huan Gong couldn't save it? ); In 646 BC, Britain (now southeast of Jinzhai, Anhui Province) and Liu Bei (now northeast of Lu 'an, Anhui Province) were conquered one after another, and the forces of Chu pushed into the middle reaches of Huaihe River. In 645 BC, King Chu Cheng was attacked by Xu Rong (now Sihong South, Jiangsu Province), and hastily made an alliance with Song, Lu, Chen, Wei, Zheng, Xu, Cao and other countries in Muqiu (now northeast of Liaocheng, Shandong Province, then Qi), so monarchs of all countries dared not stay here for a long time? Kuang (now Suixian West, Henan Province)? Dare not go to the front. In the same year, the allied forces attacked Li Guo Chu (now the northeast of Suizhou, Hubei Province) in an attempt to copy Chu's rear area, and the king of Chu took advantage of the opportunity of Song to attack Cao and defeated Xu in Loulin (now the northeast of Sixian County, Anhui Province).

Qi Henggong was defeated by the people of the Eight Countries, which showed that the King of Chu was brave and decisive, and Qi Huangong was not his match. In the same year, Zhong died of illness. In the next two years, although Qi Huangong once crossed Britain, he went to? Report the Battle of Loulin? , but it is difficult to recover the defeat in Huaisi area.

Song Xianggong can't dominate because of him? Renyi? It's fake, miss. This is just a joke. There is no right to bully, and the most performance is that one county bullies several towns; As a result, he was tortured to death by King Chu Cheng and became a laughing stock.

Wei, the younger brother of Song Dynasty, inherited the worship of Yin Shang? Public? The country name is the highest, according to the border area between eastern Henan and Jiangsu, Shandong and Anhui. After the death of Qi Huangong in 643 BC (that is, the twenty-ninth year of King Chu), there was a situation in which the five sons of Qi attacked each other. As the main ally, he led the troops of Cao, Wei, Zhu and other countries into Qi in the following year to pacify Qi chaos and establish Qi State. But at best, he's just Qi Huangong's thug, and he's used to it. After the death of the eldest brother, he took a few younger brothers to quell the civil strife in Qi, and he wanted to sit in the position of the eldest brother, thus embarking on the road of mutually assured destruction with Chu.

1. What does he do most? Renyi? The thing is to kill my younger brother (holding Teng Gong Xuan hostage and taking Zhi Jun as a human sacrifice).

In 64 BC1year, once the chaos subsided, Song Xianggong was eager to seek hegemony. First, Teng was arrested, and then he formed an alliance with Cao, Yan and Zhi in Cao Nanbi. Because Cao Guo was not convinced, he didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord and chose the location of the alliance in a remote place in the south. When Ji Jun was late, Song Xianggong ordered Ji Jun to tie him up as a sacrifice. In autumn, Cao disobeyed Song and besieged Cao. Right? Fujiko? With what? Use scorpions as human sacrifices? These two things, at that time, Song Xianggong left Yu Zi admonished:

The ancients didn't use six animals together, and they didn't need big sacrifices for small things. How dare they use people? Sacrifice is considered to be human nature. Man, the Lord of God. Who cares about employing people? Qi Huangong saved three vassals, and the righteous said he was virtuous. Today, he abused the kings of the two countries for a while, and then he dominated with all the lewd nonsense. Is it difficult? It's lucky to die. ("Zuo zhuan? Nineteen years)

In the same winter, Chen Mugong? Never forget the virtue of Qi Huan? 、? How about repairing Huan Gong? In the name of inviting governors to join hands with Qi. Chen, Cai, Chu, Zheng, Lu and Qi joined the alliance. At that time, almost all the major countries in the Central Plains participated. The real leader of this alliance is Wang Cheng of Chu, and this alliance actually recognizes the hegemonic position of Wang Cheng of Chu. In fact, as early as the year before last, Zheng Wengong made a pilgrimage to Chu.

2. He joined the League frequently, calling Chu to join the League of Tanzi, and was bound and humiliated by King Chu Cheng.

Song Xianggong doesn't want to fail. What about the next year? Want to be a vassal? . After hearing the news, Zang Wenzhong, a native of Lu, pointed out: Only by following public expectations can we succeed; If you go your own way and force others to obey your own desires, it will be difficult to succeed. There is a sentence that fully illustrates Song Xianggong's reckless and opposite actions. In 639 BC (thirty-three years of King Chu), Song Xianggong really launched an alliance with deer. Since the Central Plains countries had come from Chu, Song Xianggong asked the governors to intercede with Chu, and the King of Chu pretended to promise and observed the movement. This matter, Song Xianggong's brother and son Mu Yi pointed out:? It is a disaster for small countries to compete for alliances. Song Qi is dead! ? In the autumn of the same year, he pushed his luck and wanted to form an alliance with Chu, Chen, Cai, Zheng, Xu and Cao. The king of Chu finally got angry: Call me and I'll attack and insult it? , seize the Song Xianggong male at the meeting ("Historical Records? Chu family "), and then the soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty and defeated the Song Division.

In winter, King Chu joined forces with Lu, Chen, Cai, Zheng, Xu, Cao and other governors and released them publicly in Bohai to show mercy. Chu Chengwang won first, then released, and played with him in the palm of his hand. It can be seen that Song He is not a heavyweight in politics or military affairs.

3. He crusaded against Chu, and was defeated by Wang Cheng of Chu in the flood battle, and was shot to death by an arrow.

Song Xianggong, blinded by profits, didn't stop. But in the second year after his release, in 638 BC (the thirty-fourth year of King Chu), he joined forces with Wei, Xu, Teng and other small countries to attack Zheng to punish him for leaving Chu. Zheng was attacked and contended with the king of Chu, who immediately set out to attack Song to save Zheng. In winter, the two sides fought in the flood (forgotten, the old road is now northwest of Zhecheng County, Henan Province). Historical records? Song Shi Jia records:

In the summer of the thirteenth year of Xianggong, Song defeated Zheng. Yu Zi said? This is a disaster. ? Autumn, Chu cut Song to save Zheng. Xiang Gong will remonstrate, while Yu Zi remonstrates. Heaven has long abandoned business. ? In winter and November, Xiang Gong fought against King Chu Cheng in Lihong. When the Truman was at a loss, he was shocked. The other party is few and has never helped them. ? Don't listen. I was exhausted, and I said, Can be hit. ? Gong Yu:? When it gets old. ? Chen Cheng, Song people attacked it. The teacher's defeat is a public injury lawsuit. All China people are disgusted with the public. Gong Yu:? A gentleman is not in trouble, and he can't make a column without beating drums. ? Yu Zi said? Soldiers take victory as their responsibility, so why not? It will be like a public statement, which is the ear of slavery. Why do you want to fight?

Song Jun was defeated in the flood battle, and Song Xianggong was shot to death the following year. Song Xianggong is a joke in history, he used? Renyi? Covering up his stupidity and fighting for hegemony with Chu for three years exposed his cruelty, hypocrisy and weakness, in sharp contrast to Chu's wisdom, generosity and pragmatism.

If Song Xianggong can be a bully, then the king of Chu is worthy of the name after Qi Huangong? Central Plains overlord? . Jin Wengong became a bully after the Battle of Chengpu, which also illustrates this point. So? Spring and autumn five tyrants? Actually, it should be:, Chu,,,,. There are two of the five tyrants, which can explain why Chu entered the Warring States with the most powerful country.

1. The hegemony of Song Xianggong is the hegemony of Wang Cheng, Chu.

After the King of Chu ascended the throne, he competed with Qi Huangong, rose step by step, and came from behind. After Qi Huangong's death, King Chu actually ruled the Central Plains. Song Xianggong overreached himself and tried to control Qi Huangong. In the contest with King Chu Cheng, he lost again and again, and there was no hegemony at all. Shuye Tong hit the nail on the head: The so-called? Song Xiang's hegemony is actually an idea of Chu Cheng. ? A Study of Shuye Tong's Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period. )
